those who cut a hole for the filler neck on vertical radiator mod I need your help. I have found plenty of pics of the filler neck sticking through the support. However, I haven't found pictures of anything else as far as what keeps the radiator in place. Is the filler neck all that holds the radiator in place? Or is there a lip at the bottom that helps hold it in place or did any of you make extra brackets that bolt in?
Also, I haven't seen anyone run the Griffin 1-55241-XLS3 but it looks like the same dimensions everyone runs just this already has a steam port set up. I'm assuming this will work just fine? I don't have access to a welder but looking to tackle this project by myself so trying to make it as simple as possible.

I can snap a picture when I get up tomorrow of my first fix. Basically two pieces of about 1" by 1/8th maybe 3/16 aluminum strips that I bent over on the end to grab the shroud then a single bolt in each side in the factory nut. The bottom is what takes some thinking if you move it as far forward as practical.

ok so you did have to put a little bit of a bracket on the bottom but doesn't look too hard
I still need to pull the stock radiator and take a look in person but that does help a little
