Traced out outside edges of upper radiator mount in its stock location. I chose to move the stock ones instead of fabricating new ones. To do that i had to cut the support. It could be done without cutting,but this way was quicker for me.

Here are the upper mounts, I used a grinder to remove 1/2 the rubber. After the pic, I removed a bit more shown with Orange line. This is done to all 4 rubber mounts.

next to the hose is the trans cooler mount bolt. it was a little long so i ground it down. i could have used a shorter bolt,but it was too late to buy any or waste time looking.

I ended up cutting more towards the front than in picture. Basucally cut to the tips of the 2 notches. Factory bolt hole has been cut out,but i put the jam nut into the elongated whole that guided the tab on the factory mount.

I lengthened the hole for lower radiator bushing toward the support about 2 inches. The blue arrow points to the tangs i flattened,leave the 2 tangs closest to the support up To keep condenser rubber in place against bottom of support.

I put a few pieces of split vacuum line at the corners of my cut for condenser contact. I painted everything I cut or ground.
