how important are the radiator mount rubber stops?

the old ones are rotted off, but there doesn't seem to be a problem.

should i replace or does it even matter?

as far as i know, the only function is to keep your radiator in place,"cushioned" with rubber,so it doesnt make metal to metal contact,,,,,

Replace them !!! Metal to metal = leaky radiator.
