RE: How about this radiator?



I did desire mounting brackets but to get the rest of what I prefer it 
seems the best options do not have brackets. I intend to build a rest on 
the bottom and a "clamp" on the top to secure it. I'll use some rubber/? 
as a cushion also. This will actually allow a little flex which helps 
prevent stress fractures. Dodger did his like this as I recall.
