Amazon lower radiator support doesn’t fit?
I bought a lower radiator cradle support from Amazon last year sometime. I’ve suspected it’s never fit right because the upper radiator hold down is too short to reach the frame. So it’s like the radiator is sitting too high. Ive tried rigging the mount to get it to work and used some spacers but now one side is hitting the hood strut. Now I’m having some overheating issues and went to put the front air dam on and the dam doesn’t sit into the support well enough. There’s a 1/2” gap between the rivnut and the bracket for the deflector. Has anyone else had this issue and actually solved it? It just seems like some things line up and others don’t. It also feels like the dimensions are all off in one way or another. If all it took was lowering the radiator Mount then that would be fine since i was going to supercharge but now the deflector mount issue so I’m just trying to figure out what to do. Are all the aftermarket supports like this?

Hopefully someone has some suggestions on parts that actually fit. You can always try finding a pristine OEM used part at a used parts vendor.
