Do you have the OEM 1940 Tonner radiator with the correct top and bottom tanks? If so I can get you the dimensions of that support bracket and based on what I see of your fabrication skills you should be able to make that bracket. There might be an “off the shelf” piece of channel material that comes close enough to be able to make a bracket that holds the radiator vertically and also anchors it to the frame. The radiator size and tank configuration that fits that location is important. There are radiator hose/fan clearance issues with the two lower radiator hoses that can come into play if the vertical location of the radiator isn’t correct.
