Duayne as long as you drill a hole and weld on a nut that you can tighten down there won't be any movement. Also if you put your radiator on the front like mine I'd make a bracket to attach the radiator to then make it detachable from the stand with pins that way you can remove the radiator quickly in case you wanna do a cam swap instead of unbolting it.

You can buy them off eBay just make sure they have the mounting holes! If you decide to stick with a factory radiator I believe megs sale some universal mounts or you can make your own. I have a pretty easy idea for mounts so hit me up if your interested! Thanks!

Man that came out nice. Awesome job. I looked into buying one only to be discouraged on how overpriced they are. I found one that was built really well (Easy Run) but $2k for one isn't in my budget. I found a cheaper one (Mighty Mount) which was reasonable but it looks like they made it out of tin. Garbage. I figured it'd be a lot easier to build one myself how I want it set up and done.

from thebatteryDOTc0m " Will a battery be damaged or discharged by letting it sit on concrete? NO! the myth that concrete drains batteries does have some historical basis. .. hard rubber cases, which were somewhat porous and had a high-carbon content. An electrical current could be conducted through this container if the moist concrete floor permitted the current to find an electrical ground.... battery containers have been made of polypropylene, which is a highly insulative material."
