35 Dictator radiator

[ken1007]

Is there a "trick" in installing a radiator in a 1935 Dictator? It was removed as a "unit" that included the radiator shell and front grill. This required the two "spacers" to be removed from inside the front fenders. These spacers fell to the floor when the bolts were removed. If the radiator is reinstalled as a "unit" I can not figure out how the spacers can be reinstalled as access to them is blocked by the radiator. Help would be appreciated. Ken, Deltaville, Va

on the commander you need to remove lower pan that goes between grill and radiator. you can  then slide spacer in I did this last before but before fighting fender bolts

it was a breeze with two people getting the bolt through the spacer and into the brace

Thanks, lower pan is removed, and can see what you are talking but can not get my hand up and through the narrow passage to insert the spacer.  Was your radiator and grill installed when sliding the spacer in place?  My grandson will visit in a few weeks and maybe his hand will fit up into the space long enough for the bolt to be inserted.  Ken
