: 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,
Both of the original aprons that I have have 2 holes spaced 2 5/16" apart.I think you would want to place the pad as low as possible to support the bottom edge of the radiator shell.
Good Luck
Ted
