Upper radiator mount for bigger radiator

Thought i'd share some info for those trying to run a bigger (thicker) radiator and the upper radiator mount doesn't work with it. the 2nd gen camaro upper mount is a direct fit with stock mounting hardware and holds the radiator nicely and looks good while doing it. part is available new at summit for $21, part # SUM-G3920B

edit: oem fans may not work with this setup, the top bolts go to the original upper radiator mount. but then again the oem fans dont pull enough air to accommodate a big radiator like this.
