Re: how did you make lower brackets to hold champion aluminum radiator?

I just took the top mount and drilled out the spot welds and removed the old bend. I had some 20 gauge sheet metal and just bent it in my vise a bit bigger then the radiator and welded it on to the old mount. I cut a new rubber buffer for the top of the radiator. For the bottom I did like most others. Just rebent them to fit the bottom of the radiator. I don't remember if I used the original rubber buffers or not. I had thought of making some side brackets but what's the hurry..
