This is frustrating, spending all this $$$ on such a nice radiator and the damn thing doesn't fit. I currently have some pieces of rubber hose wedged between the radiator and the rubber mounting pads and it seems to be secure for now, but sure would feel better if I knew it was more secure.

I've ran into the similar issues mounting my aluminum Champion radiator to my core support. None of the brackets from LMC work. I'm thinking I'm gonna get a couple pieces of aluminum tig welded to the side and bolt it to the core support.
