Trans cooler

Okay I'm back again with maybe another stupid question ( seams like I have a ton of those ). Noticed that my trans cooler is zipped tied to the fins of my radiator, found this when I took the grill insert out to paint them. My question is any ideas on how to properly mount it.

Where it is will effectively do the job and should have 4 rubber tape squares, Each mounted in a corner to quiet any vibration caused friction that could rub wear the radiator otherwise that is how most after market coolers mount.

These are just small angle for the brackets and I'm pretty sure it needed a spacer on the upper right hand corner.

grinnergetter I like that set up thanks for the pic. Looks like two pieces of angle iron. Bolted or welded on, and did you just run bolts thru loops in the cooler to mount to the angle.

Does your radiator not have a transmission cooler built in?

No I believe this it still the stock radiator and the stock trans was a manual. The motor and trans where swapped before I got the truck.
