The system allows the radiator to float. I have failed a number of radiators do to ridged mounts. We want to it to have room to expand as it heats up.
Again look at a way a stock (New Car) radiator is mounted. Copy that.

Mark, I always enjoy keeping up with your builds, very informative. The grommets for your radiator are they from McMaster-Carr? Thanks again
