2nd Chance Camaro - Let the Project Begin

I think that's what I was told as well. About 3mm of swelling. The bottom being in the factory saddle isolators and one of the well type bushings on each side that allows for movement in all directions should be ok, but again, just guessing. It needs to be able to move without moving too much.

What's your thoughts guys ?

ALL DIRECTIONS is important cos twisting of the radiator support panel occurs when u enter an uphill driveway at an angle (one front wheel up to bump). This twist will also tear a radiator apart.

Well Nuts are good but painful to hold the rubber from turning, gripping with MULTIGRIPS will tear the brass insert from the rubber. Lube the thread and don't over tighten.
My suggestion would be wiring grommets and fender washers in top holes with Nyloc nuts barely tight...... and a rubber support pad in a bottom channel.
