thats a lot better than mines mounted then dude. all i did was drill 2 holes in the subby for the pegs on the bottom to sit in, the hoses hold it in place well enough for me :)

I saw a Miglia / Seven esc car at Malvern today that had the rad mounted exactly the same way.

I've gone one step further and made a sort of slam panel for mine, no idea if it will work or not mind.

Hi,
Rubber mount is best as rads get shaken apart by vibration.
Cheers,

Mines solid to an extent. The metal tubes on the bottom of the rad just slot into steel plates. The hoses then hold the top so give plenty of give.
They're a clearance hole in the bottom so can move.
Just read, same as Bud *smiley*

Mine is done the same as Rob h, not had any problems just drilled the subframe and have a plate on the top to hold it down!
