I welded 4 metal tabs the width of the radiator thickness in front and behind the radiator to keep the bottom from moving forward or backward. They are positioned close to the tanks and are a bout 2" wide. The radiator fits in them so snug it almost stands up by itself lol.

i took some 1" wide aluminum flat stock and cut it two pieces about 2-2.5" long. bent it like an L at the appropriate angle to bolt to the lower support and support against the end tanks of the radiator and glued a rubber isolator to the part on the end tank
no pics, sorry

they are not for automotive use
Sometimes the source of inspiration is walking up and down various isles in general and hardware stores
