I need to remove my lower radiator support brackets from my core support as my aftermarket radiator is too wide. Before I go crawling under the car, are these spot welded to the core support?
Chris:
Use a spot weld cutter bit (see pic below) to remove the old radiator saddles, then buy the larger replacements from Fusick or another Olds vendor. You can plug weld the new ones in with a MIG welder.

Cheap and cheery alternative (which I've done several times now...): Bash the #@%@#%$ out of the back half of the bracket to flatten it. Done!
Yep, I did that back in the 80s when I put a 4 core radiator from my brother-in-law's '68 GTO into the Cutlass. I was able to bend them back out when I had the original 3 row radiator recored.

Yeah, my work is always a little bit Kindigit, and a little bit Roadkill.
