 Good point Bulent. Anybody have any suggestions or preferences?
 I would think sheet metal flanges along side the tubes would be useful for
 drilling mounting and composite duct attachment holes. Little cylindrical
stud rubber
 isolators from Barry might be nice for vibration isolation mounting. These
are
 sold by MacMaster Carr at low cost. The A10-041 #8 size (8-32 studs) will
carry
 seven pounds each in shear and 14 pounds each in compression. These are a
1/2
 inch thick and 3/8 inch inch diameter. See the ACRE NL web site for Barry's
URL.

Let's not imply that shock mounts will allow a radiator to be mounted to
something that is moving (like a Lamar special firewall shock mount engine
truss)  Radiators should be mounted to stationary structures lest they crack
and fail.

I don't follow you Jeff. I was planing on mounting mine to
a stationary motor mount with the above rubber mounts and with 
the wiggins couplings. In the case of "Lamar special firewall shock 
mount engine truss" yes it is moving but the rad could be mounted
to it with the same rubber mounts. What is wrong with that
except perhaps for sympathetic vibration modes? The rad will be up
around 20 or 30 cps with respect to the engine while the 
mount should be much lower than that but maybe not.
