Delete Radiator Brackets - 1st Gen.

[Bronco648]

I have an '85 RCLB and am in need of the two brackets that hold the radiator to the radiator support. I would assume that they're the same for 1983 thru 1992?

TIA

Brackets at bottom?

These?

Apologies, I saw a picture in my Haynes manual that showed upper radiator brackets for a 2.8 Ranger. Apparently, not all Rangers came with this configuration. My radiator has ears, with vibration isolators, that are molded into the side tanks, at the top. So, I'm guessing your BII is the same.

Also looking for valve cover 'keepers', the little winged things that go under the valve cover bolts. I'm missing a corner one (there's two types; more-or-less straight and more-or-less 45*). I need a corner (45*) one but would take them all if sending one is a waste of time.

Junk yard is your best friend for those. Have a few extra not a set

A few extra would be fine, if you want to part with them.

My issue with local junkyards is that they have nothing that's older than 20-25 years. Most older vehicles have been crushed because they've rusted out and been (mostly) stripped. They need to make room for more 'modern' stuff.

Let me see if I can get by the local pick and pay and grab enough for a set. I need a t-case bracket anyway

That would be great, thanks. I'm only missing one keeper; a corner. But, having a full set would be awesome.
