Radiator is true, all mounting point come in contact with frame at same
time.

I'd wonder if the radiator was misaligned. Did tightning all 4 mounting
bolts apply a twist to the radiator, so that it was under stress? The
joints are just held together by solder, after all.

The radiator mounts pretty solidly to the body. If it's screwed down
tight the only way it can vibrate is if the body is vibrating. I
suppose if
the engine was vibrating too much it could cause problems around the
point
where the hose attaches to the radiator on the passenger side. But, I
would
think that the hose would absorb the vibration.
I'll be curious to hear what others have to say on this.

Morning list,
I had to pull my radiator this week to have it repaired, started
leaking
in the lower right corner. Radiator was recored about a year ago.
Just
called the shop and the radiator guy thinks that there is a vibration
problem
that caused the leak in such a short time.
So, my question - has anyone used any king of rubber mount for the
radiator to the frame? As you know, there is not much room to be
moving the
radiator in.
Final push before the 3200 mile trip to Maine and back next month.
TIA!
