Aluminum Radiator Mounting - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

What are you all doing to mount square tank type aluminum radiators using the stock V8 style U shaped saddles with the rubber inserts? I shaved down the rubber inserts, but don't like that the metal part of the saddle is now real close to the tank, and the fit is not so good. I reached out to both Champion Radiator and Brothers and while both understood the problem, neither had a solution.
I know somebody out there has figured this out.
Thanks,
Tom
