The radiator brackets were made to fit the curvature of the bottom side of the belly skin. There is a front air ramp not shown attached to the left side (of pic) I added a strip of bicycle inner tube to prevent chaffing the bottom skin. The (4) attach points are reinforced in the inside of the fuselage with doubler plates. Notice the strip of inner tube with caulk between the radiator and the side bracket. There is an "L" bracket riveted to the bottom of the fuselage across the back to block air from escaping between the belly and rear edge of the radiator.
