Be handy to have a source of supply when you find a nolathane replacement insulator. I love all this detail, thanks for sharing.

Years ago I bought a Dennis Carpenter radiator mounting bolt and pad set similar to an original set used on my truck as shown in the attached.
The Spares Parts List shows a rubber insulator No. 8124 at the lower bracket of the radiator. I was not really happy with the use of the springs and washers there as the 3/4" diameter hole in the radiator bracket is much larger than the 3/8" bolt allowing a fair bit of movement. The hole in the chassis support has been enlarged over time also from this movement.
A parts truck had an original bolt No. 22237 on it and a mismatched one on the other side.
I Googled part 8124 and found the attached link. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/27430874...53.m1438.l2649
I don't plan to use 80 year old rubber parts but it shows what they look like.
Thought I might go with a Nolathane polyurethane bushing of similar size.
Interested on any thoughts on the subject.
Cheers,
