Arrow HELP!! Installing hideaway headlights in a 68 Bonneville

I obtained and rebuild the complete hideaway system for 68 Bonneville form a donor 68 Grand Prix. Now my guy is trying to install and thinks they use a different radiator support with hideaways. Anyone know??? IF Yes does anyone have one???

I was under the impression on at least the '67 hideaways the core supports were the same (or same enough). Lots of little brackets are different but I don't believe the core support needs to be swapped - it was definitely not swapped on my '67.

That said, I'll let a '68 expert chime in.

It’s not the radiator / core support that’s different , it’s the Inner bumper support Bracket for the hideaways.
The only problem I think I had putting the hideaways on my 68 catalina was a missing a mount off the non hideaway bumper bracket that holds the outermost edge of the hideaway plastic grill on. Everything else fit in my original Catalina bumper.

That's a Bonny Bonnie.
