H-rod
The rad mount is correct, not sure why it was designed that way, but I just mounted it.
I also did not use the self tapping screws. I drilled thru and mounted with bolts and nuts.
I had seat tracks bolted thru the fiberglass with large washers.
I went with new seats after a while because of no support or cushion in A$C seats and I mounted them right to the floor so no adjustment.
The glass floor is about 1/4 to 3/8" thick.
Maybe others will chime in from A$C forum
Jim

Yes the floors are very thick. You would never pull through the fiberglass floor. 3" washers

For the radiator bracket, i made spacers and drilled and tapped threads in the frame.

Default Radiator Bracket

I modified my bracket incase I needed to remove the radiator. I cut the bottom support off and then reattached it using a piece of 1" aluminum angle. One other Mod I wish I had done was to of had a drain welded into the bottom of the tank so you wouldn't have to remove the lower hose. If you haven't bought a radiator you can call Howe Racing and they will do that Mod in house for you.
The floor of the A&C is thick 1/4-3/8" and you seat tracks can be secured to it using fender washers.....
One other suggestion; don't use a Panhard Bar, you have a triangulated 4 line and it will cause bind!

Appreciate all the responses.

Let me ask this, when you mount the radiator, did you all put down some kind of rubber "pad" or something underneath the radiator to minimize vibration?

Once again, I`m nowhere near ready to install this in the car.
Just looking and planning ahead.
