Here is a shot of my custom rad brackets made from 1/8 x 1.5" aluminum strip. Its a two peice design without welds and is adjustable to the core thickness. This core is 2.75" wide. I used High density EPDM sponge foam to line the inside of the bracket to absord vibration and protect the core frame.
Took a peice of 2" aluminum pipe and made this filter mount. The filter slides in and there are 2 set screws on either end ring to hold the filter in place. I didnt like the way the band clamps looked.
