Default mounting bolts for radiator

Any help on this would be very appreciated:
Im replacing my radiator on my 99 xj which has no mounting bolts (hasnt since I got it a few years ago and its never had the bolts; waiting for the radiator to stb and finally did).
I cannot seem to find the size and type of mounting bolts for the radiator.
Local junk yards have been no help.

The top bolts that secure the radiator in position.

Are these the bolts on the far left and right on the radiator crossmember?

How many empty holes do you have?

Sounds like you are missing the radiator isolators.

These mount to the top of the radiator and then the radiator the attached to the upper support. For some reason people leave/forget these often.

Don't go to the dealer for them. They are EXPEN$IVE there. Worse that you can ever imagine!

Haha been looking for these EXACT things. Bought a replacement radiator after my OEM side tank **** the bed and the new one didn't have the neoprene/foam isolators.

My rad will now finally stop moving back and forth lol.

Ok well in replacing my radiator I found there aren't true mounting bolts.. however the smartass who worked on it before didnt replace the nuts attaching the radiator to the a.c. condenser so it had a lot of movement in it.
In short, replacement was a total success and thanks for the input guys.
At least someone else found out what they need in keeping their radiator from bouncing around.

his could go on, ad nauseam, trying to figure out what you need. Do you have digital camera that you could use to take photos of all the empty holes on the radiator crossmember that you want to fill - and post them to this thread?

The empty holes are from a missing battery mount, fan shroud and from the missing clips from my hose to coolant reservoir.
