Here a tip, irrespective of whether you have an original radiator, or especi=
ally an alloy one.=20
Swap the bottom mounting ears side to side.=20
Then you have a gap to mount a rubberized mounting reel.=20
In Australia, that's an FJ holden 3/8 bolt rubber Centred radiator mount.=20=
Buy 2 pair at your local Repco.=20
So for my American friends, you are looking for a radiator mounting with 3/8=
-24 studs either end, and a "cotton reel" rubber block in the centre.=20
Grind about 3 threads off a Holden FJ one, on the inside where it bolts to t=
he radiator bracket, and now your bottom radiator mounts now are rubberised.=
No more issues from vibration.=20
Vibration kills solid mounted radiators.=20
