Radiator seals.

Can anyone post a picture of the radiator seals how they are installed for my 72 Cutlass? I received new ones today, and am puzzled. My assembly manual is a little vague. I have the top sides, middle sides, and the lower which is easy. Thanks

Are these the rubber flaps that seal air from going around the radiator? Or the rubber inserts for the saddles and the long soft piece that goes along the top? If you could post pictures of them then maybe one of us could post pictures of them installed.

These are the two I need direction with. The lower, (not pictured) is easy.

Is this what your needing to see? The uppers at least,I have no idea about the curved ones with the holes in the center you pictured. I'll be watching this thread to find out about those curved seals.I probably need to add those to my car.

You can see one of the uppers needs trimmed so it has room to clear the a/c hoses.

The seals in the pics are installed over the sway bar, and I guess fasten with a plastic clip to the radiator support.

Yes, those are the top ones. Kind of ugly after holding them up. And yes mine would need trimmed. I guess, function or look at this point. I will have to think about it. Of course mine is not stock. Thanks for the pic's!

The seals in his pic go under the car, fitted around the sway bar, seldom used...
