Griffin radiator users>>>

I have a Griffin 2 row alum. radiator, the stock replacement w/ trans cooler. It's almost 2x as thick as the stock radiator, what'd you guys do to keep it in place? Just looking for some good ideas.

I have the 3 row and I used my stock radiator cover to hold it in place, it doesn't fit perfect but it holds it in place.

mine is a becool. It has the little aluminum pieces that fit into the end tank slots that were in the old radiator hold down. I did have to modify it a bit to clear the spal fans.

i changed to a smaller size on my car, had to change the mounting as well. all i did was use some flat steel bent at 90* and used selftapping sheet metal screws to hold the straps on and against the radiator, i used weather stripping on the straps to to act as a cousion between the radiator and the straps.
