Yeah, I have never heard of such a problem either...  but,
Owain really uses his Tiger..  fast race/rallyes...  Tigers are pretty 
flexible.. and even I removed the bottom piece
of the core support (that blocks the radiator) that might have made it 
stronger...  OWAIN, did you do that too?

            <div>what are you guys doing to mount your alumin(i)um

              flexed and stressed out.  the first time i put any miles
              on the car recently, the new rad sprung a leak which i
              assume is from having it bolted solid to the front panel
              which is flexing under torque and cornering.  since i
              can't really repair it, I bought a new one from the UK but
