Kirk, The newer cars don't use the lower portion of the radiator hoop. You can cut it off right below the mounting points. The radiator will sit on the forward facing frame members. I make 2 u-shaped brackets for the radiator to sit on out of flat aluminum. I put strips of foam tape on them so the radiator won't cut into the aluminum. The top brackets you have now (if you have them) won't work since the Griffin is thicker, the mounts were also designed to mount on the tanks at each end. You will need to run a flat piece of steel between the 2 mounting points on the radiator hoop. Using the old brackets as a model use some flat aluminum and bend it in your vise to attach the radiator to the flat bar. I mount the uppers and the lowers so they fit in the channel at the top and bottom of the radiator. It sounds more confusing than it is. Here is a picture of the radiator mounted. Not very close-up but you should be able to see what I mean.
