Great looks like it worked. Here are a few more pics. These clips are pretty easy to make and everything just unbolts. The upper clips pick up existing bolts. You have to drill the lower support to attach the clips to it. I am not a good welder to I wanted something easy. It all feels real solid. The upper clips kind of flex down at the front end were the bolt goes thru. This brings the aft end up tight against the radiator.
