Hi guys. I have a Dodge charger 1968 440 cu engine and it is time to install a engine cooler radiator. His is OEM chrysler 2785931 and 61018 nr. I was look every where and I cant not  find a pictures , mounts of a radiator. On picture on left site upper mount I can tighten but on other side I cant mount is too far for over 5 cm. Can some one help me ? I live in Poland so not many people have that car here and I can't see it :) Best regards

The radiator number 2785931 goes to a 1967 C-Body and not to a 68 B-Body such as your Charger.  If it seems to fit in the area ok  with no clearance or rubbing issues then maybe you could drill a new hole in the radiator mount flange to line up with the threaded hole and try it out.  This site also has many resources to check mymopar.com.  Good luck

Do you mean the small clamps on the driver side of the radiator?  Those hold an overflow hose that connects to the nipple under the radiator cap.  Just get some standard hose to fit the nipple and clamps and let it hang down past the frame.

OK thank You :) It is very strange that Chrysler do 4 mounts metal to metal :/

It is when you're used to European cars with radiators sitting on rubber grommets yes, but the metal to metal works fine.  Once tightened it's not going anywhere and I've never had rust or anything between the parts either.  Nobody is stopping you from putting some felt between the parts though.   ;)
