It would seem to me that you do not want that support to move, and that the rubber washers might be better placed between the radiator and the support as opposed to being between the support and the frame.
Yes everything sits on and is supported by the radiator core support. But I Plan to also put some kind of L bracket on each inner fender and attach them to the actual frame rails. The weight will then be distributed across 4 anchor points. The rubber washers are just a little buffer for vibration etc. The Radiator will actually be attached via the Brackets running up the sides or the radiator. I still need to make some brackets to get the radiator joined to the support.
