Charlie,

Everything moves, so my recommendation is to design to allow for movement.
 Initially, I had my oil cooler attached to the re-drive adapter plate with
bolts and rubber grommets.  The grommets took a beating as did the bolts
and flanges.  A year ago I re-designed the whole oil cooler assembly and
isolated it from the engine by securing it to the motor mount.  This
approach has worked much better and I plan on keeping it as is.

Mark S.
