Mine just sits in saddles on the bottom. Here is a link for all the radiator hold down parts.

You can get the long springs from your local big truck supply store. Throttle return springs for a old International work just fine

Use threaded rod instead of the long springs. On a rough track the rad will move around with the springs. My friend had springs and the fan went through the rad because of the springs.

1/4 threaded rod works fine.

This is my first year racing and my first time putting a late model together, I have a 05 rayburn and I used 2"x14"x1/8" aluminum flat bar for my straps to support the top of my radiator (I bought a 3 foot stick of it at tractor supply co. for like $12)...I found a peice of aluminum channel that was wide and long enough to sit inside of the top part of my radiator and I riveted the straps to the radiator, leaving around an inch or so hanging in front of my radiator so i could have somthing to hook my springs into...as far as the springs go, I found some at my local parts store, I know advance auto parts has like a 6 pack of those long springs for like $8. make sure you put around the same amount of tension on both springs. Hope this helps!
