Bottom support for vertical mount rad setup? Im thinkin about doing the vertical rad setup to clean up my turbo setup and engine bay a bit. What are you guys doing for a bottom mount? I see this asked a lot on here but not many responses... Pictures and advice would be great!
Thanks all

I cut the bottom area completely out, as they had a slope to them for the stock radiator.
Then, I welded in reinforcement plates to the bottom of the frame. Then went and bought some round CM tubing, bent it up in a U shape and welded it to my reinforcement plates. This allowed me to decide exactly how high/low to mount my radiator as well. From there, it's just a matter of making some simple brackets to hold the bottom of the radiator in place.
