    Posted: May/20/2018 at 11:37am
I lost my reference photos from before I took my 74 Javelin apart. I have the new air baffles/shields one that staples to the metal strip across the top and one that clips along the bottom radiator support.

Can anyone tell me if the lower baffle clips to the top of the lower radiator support and flaps upward onto the face of the radiator or does it flap downward in between the radiator and the radiator support? See photo below for reference


Thanks!

On my '69 AMX for the Bottom Seal I tried either way, decided on flipped-up, not that it is correct.
The copper colored Clips are correct afaik, I used the other black Clips I could get.
Top left pic, there is a Trans Cooler on there mounted to rad support in front of the actual Radiator.
The Top Seal attached with the staples and also flipped-up.

Thanks. I also have the black clips which I got from APD and the staples. Just seemed odd to cover up part of the radiator so I wanted to be sure it went up.

My 71 has it pointing down. Just doesn't look right any other way.

I agree with ya both... covering radiator sounds incorrect, pointing down looks more right LOL
I went back and forth, Black Clips were kinda flimsy didn't "like" seal pointed down, so Up it was LOL
