    alright so I picked up a transmission oil cooler from TEP the $100 and some one. (webpage is not loading so I cant get you the model number) anyways im having problems mounting it to the rad. Everything else looks easy and just cant find a solid way to mount this. There is 2 groves outside the rad on the bottom that I can bolt into easy. But this leaves the cooler sitting 2/3 the way up the rad with nowhere to mount the top too. the kit came with brackets so I could mount the brackets to the top than bolt those onto the top of engine support where the dog bones hook up. but they will end up sticking out so ill have to cut them or bend them or something. Seems like other ppl never had this issue. So what am I missing?

    No sorry cant post any pics, ran out of time yesterday and decided just to put it all back together and go at it another day. Pretty much there is 2 notches by the lower rad that i can bolt into and its solid. After that im lost, the kit came with black plastic zipties, could i use those to pull through the rad to secure it?
