The manufacturers of replacement aluminum radiators should be designed and made for the application and state if special mounting hardware is needed beyond stock. I found a high end aluminum rad to cure over heating issues on one of dad’s 58 Chevys with a 327 and it did state to just use the stock mounting hardware. No issues in 8 years. And as others have said, if it’s too loose it can also cause destructible vibrations.
