4 Core Lower Radiator saddles 71 Cutlass

Hello, I recently replaced my leaking radiator with a Cold Case radiator. So I changed to a four core unit. I have the correct top plate, but am looking for the lower saddles. I realize these parts are available from Oldsmobile vendors, I ordered these parts in February, yes still out of stock. Tried every vendor and the parts are not available and no known date for stock to come in.

Would a board member here have these two parts?

I once installed a 4 core radiator and opened up the original 3 row lower saddles by flattening one end with a hammer. Later bent them back to fit the 3 row end tanks when I had a 4 row core installed into the 3 row tanks.

Did you check Thorntons to see if in stock?

I have these $45 from Fusick plus shipping. I would sell these for $50 shipped to lower 48
Also have the top plate that I do not need would sell that as well or separate...

Thank you for all responses. I appreciate you all very much. I have sourced a set of saddles. Really surprising that Fusick, OPGI, Inline Tube, and Thornton are all out of stock. I did check ebay and is seems Motor City, which I think is Inline's internet seller has listing for the parts. I purchased from Nicks1966.
