On my race Scout, I "squeeze" the bottom of the radiator against the 
frame with a bushing between 'em.

I then run some 3/4 x.120 flat from the old inner fender mounts on the 
firewall up to the top sides of the radiator.

The 3/4 flat will wobble/wave a bit, but not much.  It lets the top of 
the radiator "float" a bit, while still keeping it pretty much where I 
want it.

I haven't ripped a radiator apart yet.. I've killed a few from debris, 
of course. :D
