Radiator / heater core questions

My heater core does not fit snug in the box, and I was wondering if you guys have a suggestion to keep it from rattling around.

Also, is there a special way to install the foam radiator shields on the brackets? The old material was stapled on the metal shields, however, there was hardly any material remaining.

There are two elongated C brackets that loop around each end of the heater core that hold it in place.

Heh, heh, they have it and you need it. Corvette parts always demand a premium. These are correct parts for those Corvettes. Then again, you could go to the local pick-a-part and spend a few hours trying to find the same size. What is your time worth? By the same token, those Corvette parts may not even fit?
