Has anyone else had problems with cracked radiators? I suspect there's too much chassis flexing going on stress loading the radiator. If that's the case, has anyone converted to a rubber mounted modern like radiator.

Ive rubber mounted an alloy S13 radiator into mine. Its a tight fit with maybe 5mm spare room in total side to side. Custom made a bracket for the bottom out of aluminium channel with some rubber grommets that i found lying round in the shed.
To mount the top i simply used some R32 radiator mounts i got from a wrecker.
You will need a new radiator hose to the top tank as the stock one is too short, from memory one from a 78 Hilux does the job, but just go to repco and see what they have that is slightly longer than the stock one.
Hope this helps.
