do rads have to be mounted on rubber bushes or not, or is it recommended that you do?
i would. reduced vibration, less risk of fatigue fractures etc
Ive never rubber mounted a radiator - never had a problem either
na i dont, mine is in a steel frame
Mine is mounted solid, rad on the zook I'm stripping for the 4x4 was solid mounted to the chassis as well.
my 2p worth; not come across a rubber mounted rad.
land rovers are bolted to bodywork and thye get subjected to more shakes and jolts than a road only car - not heard of any problems arising.
ah, there you go then 
all my BMW radiators have been rubber mounted btw
That's funny, my experience is completely the opposite.......All the tintops I've had have had rubber mountings as did my Locost and the
Roadster, In fact I've mounted the rad on my new car today - with rubber.
I suppose that shows that it doesn't matter much?
Cheers
