If its stock - there are no bushings - it just bolts onto the back of the support (at least every one of the 5 cars I've had have been this way). Bolt size I don't remember off the top of my head, but lots of stuff will work. Someone here will remember the exact size bolt…..

M 8*1.25

 

Overall length of bolt (including bolt head) approx 22mm.

 

The nut had a captive washer on the genyoowine ones on cars down here.

 

RW reccomends a flat washer and spring washer.

 

Oh, and Pics???, seriously???

 

Helpful RW tech hint, bolt the radiator on the inside of the engine bay :)

Ratwagon..thanks for the details. I was asking for pics cuz went on line for images of stock Datsun 510 mounting and saw one with rubber spacer and ones w/out.

 

Never seen rubber mounts, bushes, spacers etc on any OEM radiators on the 510's down here. Always been just the four nuts and bolts with the radiator mounting tabs sitting flush against the radiator support panel.

 

Cant imagine why someone would put spacers in unless they wanted the radiator closer to the fan, or didnt want their shiny radiator support panel paint scratched?

No captive nut on the PL 510, the 620's had them.  Take the grill out, lot's easier.

The bushings or spacers or even maybe washers as the newer clones radiators, The Radiator brakets are flush with the core. meaning they will ride on the lip that sticks around the opening.

The Stock orginnals brackets had the core resest back a little. Youll figure it out. Look at old and the new rad and youll see the difference.

Any chance you can repost the above in English?
