Hi guys,
I am trying to find a radiator pad, but it seems that everyone I find only sells the longer pads for the pass. side, and not the shorter ones to fit in the shorter groove of the drivers side (drivers is LH right?). Classic Muscle says these do not exist as far as they know, but in my ass. manual the part number is different on both sides, being 3917439 for the drivers side. Does anyone know where I can get these pads? Looks like both the top and bottom on the drivers side are the shorter variety. The longer one that I have doesn't fit in the groove unless I smush it in there. Thanks!

I used the longer one, but took a utility knife and cut about 3/16" off the end. Fits perfectly and with the top plate on I can't tell the difference.

Doesn't this cause the radiator to sit a bit too far toward the front of the car on the driver's side?

Doesn't look like it, the amount I removed did not come off of the seating area of the rubber pad.
