mounting aftermarket intercooler

[nate108]

hi getting rid of my jspec cooler
i know they are good but i picked up a meek 2.5" piping kit cheap and it is the 600 x 300 version have had it on my jspec cooler but it just doesnt fit right
so i have bought a cooler from NZ with 2.5" end tanks 600 x 300 x 76 2.5" ends

however this cooler has no brackets for mounting just threaded holes

can i buy brackets? how do i mount this securely?

i like the rubber mounting, maybe use something similar to the way radiators are mounted. i dunno about self tappers into the bottom of the rad support. doesnt sound real secure to me.
when chassis mounting something, i use those flanged nuts, drill hole big enough to push nut in then weld around the flange so the nut is inside the chassis and only 1-2 mm of flange is sticking out
