How wil the rad fall out, the rubber bobbins should be held in place by a bolt and large washer???? Never had any trouble with them before nor heard of trouble with them before. Your pipe work shouldhold it fairly upright anyhows imo.

I have similar problem I have two forge items and there not the best fit with one another and tended to flap about somewhat, I have just taken them out and given them to an alloy fabricator to change the brackets and make them sit together better

ITS fitted right karl norris had a look and said would be best to support with brackets they had got a 3dr in there on wednesday whilst i was having remap and the rad had fallen out jammed under the wheel and caused an accident
so just for extra safety im going to make some brackets from the top of the rad to the front cross member
