Radiator and Coolant Reservoir

Mom is in town helping to watch the kids while Leslie is out of town.  In between swimming, board games and roller skating, we managed to install and plumb the radiator and coolant reservoir.  It wasn't too difficult, but we did have to scratch our heads a bit to figure out to isolate the radiator metal from the frame.  Apparently, the radiator needs to be isolated to eliminate premature failure due to some chemical or electrical process.  I'm sure Brad can weigh in on this.  The isolation with rubber grommets also gives the radiator a little cushion from the frame to buffer against excessive vibration.
