Radiator support rods
Can anyone tell me how the radiator support rods are attached to the radiator? Mine won't stay in place very long in the driveway, but apparently they should be able to support the radiator when pulling the engine. I'm guessing it's some sort of bushing.

FB,
Spot welded to each side of the radiator is a "pocket" constructed out of sheet metal that will allow one end of the rod to be inserted from the bottom.
This view (although very dark) shows the rod inserted into the pocket from the bottom. The other end is inserting from the top into a "pocket" in the motor mount and held in place by a washer (Labeled R in first photo) and a pin (Labeled S in the first photo).
