Kevin, sorry the only photo I could find is the one attached and not a detail one of the bolts, sleeves and washers. They are in front of the radiator, but hard to see.

I used the cone shaped toilet tank washers - which are easily found at any hardware store - and some short sleeves made of 5/16" tubing to prevent them from being crushed when the bolts were tightened.

This allows the radiator to flex. Otherwise, it is fastened tightly to the cradle and subject to movement and failure.

These rubber washers and original shoulder bolts disappeared over time as the radiator was serviced.

Maybe Big Kev has photos of what I am talking about.
