: : This should be a no-brainer (but,then, I don't have the answer..):the anti-rattle, felt pad for the radiator splash shield was mounted with one rivet hole ('30-'31).Can someone tell me where the precise placement of this hole should be; my splash shield must be a repro (despite its ancient appearnance), because there ain't no such hole.

: : Common sense would say to place it midway between the sides of the apron, down from the top edge whatever distance is required in order to mount the pad for a snug fit.Have I answered my own question?Just thought I'd ask before I get that gleam in my eye with a whirring drill in my hand...

: : Thanks!

: Gordon,

: Don't drill yet!!!The pad is attached with TWO 9/64" x 3/8" long tubular rivets.You can substitute split rivets but should reverse them so the stapled end compresses the felt.

: I couldn't get a measurement from either car installed and don't have an apron on the shelf.All I can do is slow you down until someone else can provide the measurements!!!

: Let's hear from someone!


Lord Tahtaras --

Party poop!If you didn't keep such late hours, I could have my hole drilled by now.Could it be that Bratton's sent me only one rivet to accompany the single felt pad?

Perhaps our South African guru is waking by now, and can assist us with the placement of the hole(s).

Peace

Le Colonel
