To avoid potential electrolyse, don't forget to isolate the radiator from the body with rubber mounts.

Hence the reason I am asking this question. The radiator that I am using already has rubber mounts on the base and I have made a platform for it to sit on but i am just wondering what people are using for upper mounts. I have some VW golf/new beetle ones but they are no good at the best of times.

But this post has been up for a few days now and it seems the cat has everyones tongue.

check out RDC and how they mount them in TTs and pre runners... looks good and must work pretty good if they all do it.
turbos are nice but i'd rather be blown

i aint sure what the type of rad is but if it has pins on the top just get some rubber chop it so it looks like a top hat from the side then get some sheet metal brackets to go over the rubber. of that makes sense.
