hi,
what are you guys doing to mount your alumin(i)um radiators? i had changed
my stock rad for an ali version from Dale a few years back. not because i
needed better cooling but mainly because i was tired of soldering the rad
up all over the place and thought it must be all flexed and stressed out.
the first time i put any miles on the car recently, the new rad sprung a
leak which i assume is from having it bolted solid to the front panel which
is flexing under torque and cornering. since i can't really repair it, I
bought a new one from the UK but want to mount it on something which
absorbs the flex and vibration.
I have a bunch of exhaust bobbin rubbers from a mini but i suspect they
will put the rad too far back and allow too much movement. its not arrived
yet so i'm not exactly sure of the width.
this solution looks nice but it wouldn't work without large holes in the
mounting tabs.

cheers.
