Once I had the bottom radiator brackets sorted out, I had to work on the top brackets. First, I was thinking to just add a piece of tube and longer bolts to the cut off Subie brackets as recommended in the manual, but this seemed a bit flimsy... so I spent a couple days cutting, welding, and grinding some plain steel. I'm a beginner with a stick welder, so the welds are inconsistent resulting in quite a bit of rework. Someone with more experience could probably move a lot quicker.

I had several rejects

Test fit... we have a winner!

This is the final product

Installed, you can see that the brackets hold the radiator slightly away from the frame, which seemed like the safest way to avoid rattles. Hopefully, none of this causes issues when I go to install the body.
