Milenko2121 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I just installed a 2 row aluminum radiator to replace my old 3 row stock, and I'm using vibration damping mounts, but they just seem to push the radiator too far out. these are the mounts here is my radiator mounted with them What other options do I have so I can get it closer to the original stock location?

Domzs Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 If it is an OE replacement and mounts to factory location then why would you need those mounts ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanceVance Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 (edited) Milenko, Perhaps a low profile flush mounted vibration isolator would work for you? Try THESE (top left). Domzs, Solid mounting aluminum radiators has been shown to cause stress failures; you've got to add some sort of flexibility when mounting it to something that undergoes torsional stresses (i.e. the rad support).

Domzs Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I didn't know that . Got mine mounted 6 months ago . Not seeing any leak yet but will keep an eye on it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluDestiny Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I used a few pieces of 1/4" thick rubber that I sandwiched between the radiator and support. It's been like that for....3 years now no problems. I also used some 3m foam crap to fill in the gap between the rad and the support.

Milenko2121 Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 how do those flush ones work exactly? do you put a threaded rod through it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
