i will probaly weld it but not certan new that you mention silicone we will see getting the aluminium today an no the radiator will stay their for now just depends how well it works their

That thickness of aluminum is not really that thin. I dont think you will need many ribs and even if you do weld it go ahead and silicone it to the metal frame every where it rattles. also if the welds leak you can hit it with a center punch and that will stop small pinhole leaks. I had no leaks in the welds with 3 passess of a spool gun on all fillet welds.

That is looking really good. I had to go back and look at the last picture you posted to make sure I was still looking at the same frame. It looks completely different now that it is painted.

also the paint is suposed to be black with hammer finish but is grey with hammer finish because i used grey undercoat and turns out you dont need undercoat but who cares it only gets covered by alluminium
