I took a look at the radiator mounting in my 93 coach. The main support appears to isolated to the bottom - I couldn't see exactly how it was attached to the frame without crawling under it and I wasn't prepared to do that where it is currently sitting. The top has a square tube support running fore and aft about 8" long attached to each side of the top tank with a single bolt. This support appears to me to be for the sole purpose of limiting principally fore and aft movement of the top of the radiator. The location and length of the arm means there is some give in this support, so expansion of the radiator should not impose significant stresses on it.
The remaining question of the rear radiator mounts is if there is any "give" engineered the mounts at the bottom that carry all the weight. Someone of you may already know this but if not I'll pretty soon be crawling under to take a look at mine.
I've had a medical issue slowing me lately - this too shall pass- and I hope to find and visit a local highway bus garage.
As Red Green says: "if you can't be handsome at least be helpful".
