    I would use the rubber "horseshoe" cradles used on "new" cars top, sides, and bottom

    Radiators should not be mounted fixed. The radiator needs to be able to move when the chassis flexes. If the radiator cannot move it will fail and leak. Henry had it dialed in with the support rods and spring mounted base in the 20's & 30's. Later, Ford used well nuts in the 60's.
