[Tigers] radiator mounting

[Theo Smit]

That (large holes with big grommets) is pretty much what I did to mount my aluminum rad.

>>> 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.
