Mounting Wacky New Radiator?

I got one of the radiators sold from the the site here.

First, it has no shroud. Is that OK? Maybe the new ones are efficient enough they don't need a shroud? My old shroud is screwed onto the radiator, but there are no screw holes on this one.

More importantly -- how does this mount? The bolts screwed into the bottom of my old radiator. This one doesn't have anything except perhaps a bracket that would accept the head of a carriage bolt. Do I have to manufacture my own mounting system?

You don"t have to manufacture a mounting system so long as you can come up with two carriage bolts, washers and nuts. Guys cut some new rubber pads out of a radiator hose to put under there and that sounds like the way to go. The new radiator does not negate the utility of a shroud, not that I"ve ever heard. Your shroud has mounting holes so you can mount the old shroud on the new radiator pretty easily with some SHORT-don"t-punch-holes-in-radiator-core self-tapping screws or even fresh sheet metal screws. I chuck a screw-bit into the drill motor and shoot. Shooting screws is better than pre-drilling because one oops with the drill bit and you got holes in the core. I think I shot the old screws into the new radiator, but I can"t remember for certain. But then, I"ve shot untold thousands of screws up to now.
You may want to mount the radiator and then mount the shroud because it needs to relate just so to the fan; not much clearance. I think you can do it that way. Maybe bent and twisted ol" tractors is why the didn"t pre-drill the radiator for the shroud.

Thanks a bunch. I got a free "damaged" radiator hose at the auto parts store to make some grommets, (I don't have old hoses laying around) and 3/8" carriage bolts look like they will do the job. The hardware store people looked at me a little funny carrying in a radiator though...

#6 self tapping sheet metal screws and a little bit of pilot-hole drilling should get the shroud back in place.

I think you need 7/16 carriage bolts. The 3/8 bolt will spin in the slot. If you have access to a welder you kin build up the square on the 3/8 for a tight fit. No need to do all four sides just two oppsite each utter. If you ever haveta remove the rad they will hold while ya git the nut off and not spin in the slot.

I confess I don't remember exactly what size they are, but I had the radiator with me in the store and made sure they don't spin.
