? for those who tubed out the front w/stock radiator

[Adventurous 4x4]

I am curious on how you mounted the stock radiator with the tubed out front and getting rid of the stock radiator support. On my raidator there are holes in the top and bottom rail that I was thinking about running bolts through and using a rubber bushing on each side and running the bolts through tabs welded onto the tube at the top and off the frame on the bottom. How did you guys mount it?

I made little cups for the stock rubber bushing at the bottom end and then welded nuts into the tube at the top and used the stock tie down.

This is the best way to make the radiator leak quickly. Use the factory isolator pads and build some form of mount for them.

This is the best pic I seem to have...

I have a channel I bent up out of 1/8" material that looks like Swiss cheese with stock rubbers installed. the top is those single bolt on pieces I forget from what. but I modified them by welding 2 u-bolts to each. I press them firmly down and clamp them to the cage. It's been a year no problems yet...

That is exactly what I was thinking. I was worried it would seperate from the tanks doing it that way.
