Bolting the radiator solid is usually a bad idea. Use some rubber bushings or something to absorb any vibration, shock, etc. You just don't want the radiator to twist in any way. This will eventually work the brazing loose that bonds the tubes to the tank sides. Just my 2 cents worth. I hate to see a fellow member ruin a good radiator just because of the mounts. I would do the logical....check with the manufacturer of the radiator. In this case I think there are rubber mounts that mount the radiator support to the frame. I think this should suffice. However, I would still ask C&R to see what they designed the radiator to do....and not do.
