Thought I would post a couple pics of Fabrik8's radiator mount.

Nice fab. Don't forget the isolators to prevent cracking from vibration. I use blue pvc load rated grommets from Mcmaster. Just drill the holes in the fan to fit the grommet OD with an ID large enough to accept the bolt with a nyloc on the inside or a short piece of tubing over the welded stud for a positive stop for the nut. I'll find the page for him.

Man, that is no fair. Rad mounts are suppose to be all bent and crappy looking. Nice. Russ

This radiator is a direct mount type (circle track with dzus tabs pre welded form the manufacturer) I got the impression the radiator was designed to be dzus mounted, do you think I still need vib isolators, if so where just the fan, or radiator to frame? the radiator is pn 2020225010 from c&r radiator. I certainly don't want to cause undue dammage, however I want a simple clean install. My mounts are brackets with dzus fasteners 4 places, with oval holes in the frame brackets to allow minimal movement and of course the dzus springs flex a little, let me know what you think. Thanks!

Those extended mounting brackets might have just enough flex that you might get away without any isolaters, myself I would err on the side of caution since it is cheap and easy at this point and insulate them as MiataV8 suggested.
Short track cars will have a lot of short cuts done for quick repairs throughout the race season, what is fine for that situation may not be the best for a street car, assuming that is the main usage.

I must say I really like the clean installation, nicely done.

Take a look at C&R's off road application radiator mounting to see if it is different.

Typically, racing parts do not a have much of a warranty, but these are obviously more durable than a plastic oem radiator or a copper/brass that was soldered versus brazed.

For street use, I'd use isolation mounts as Al suggested.

Thanks guys ill look into it, i think i will call c&r first and go from there. i'll update here after i talk to them.

Nice creative touch for sure.
