Hey guys, I've lurked here quite a bit, but my first post over here. I just picked up some solid aluminum body mounts for my '67 Camaro from Fesler but I'm not sure which way the washers go for the radiator support bushings. There are two for each bushing, one is the same diameter as the body mount, and one is a little smaller. Has anyone used these before? Thanks.

And while were at it, does anyone know the torque recommendations for the front, and mid/rear mounts?

You could go by the Global West instructions and use their recommended torque (100ft-lb x 4 and 75ft-lb x 2 radiator)

Thanks, I have a copy of the Global West instructions as well as the Speed Tech instructions.
GW - 100ft-lb x 4 and 70ft-lb x 2 radiator
Speed Tech - 75-95ft-lb x 4 and 30-40ft-lb x 2 radiator
GW uses two small fender washers and Speed Tech use a large fender washer and a lock washer on the the radiator mounts, Fesler doesn't have any lock washers. I'm guessing the smaller diameter washer takes the place of the lock washer with the Feslers, which would go closest to the bolt head?

Thanks.bolt,washer, male bushing through top of core support, female bushing between frame and core support, washer and nut in frame. Do not torque them down until front sheetmetal has been squared.

Thanks Mike (and thanks for the parts). I contacted Chris and he said he will send a copy of the instructions. My question was which washer goes where? There are two different sized washers for each front bushing.

Thanks Mike. I heard back from Chris Fesler as well. He recommended 35 lb-ft on the core supports and 80 lb-ft on the mid and rears. For future reference, here's a pic of the instructions.
