    I mount mine solid, it has never been a problem. I make this frame work and bolt it to the frame in four places then mount the radiator to it in four place, spreading the load out as for as possible.

    This should give you an idea - it's the stainless version from Vintique.



    I also had to shim with a made up steel shim, but under the rubber - which is ~1/8 thick. You can also use alignment shims

    I used the same mounting hardware as Dave did. No problems and it was easy to mount.

    Oh yeah - as a couple of quick notes - the supplied bolt may not be long enough. Mine weren't. There is a non-SS version as well for a couple bucks less
