I'm tackling my cooling system again. I pulled the radiator out. It's 2-3 years old now and is leaking. I think the leaks are operator/owner error, not the fault of the radiator.

Can anyone recommend a radiator shop in Bozeman? I need to figure out if I'm better off getting it repaired or just replacing it.
I'm going to drop the radiator mount down 2", as was recommended by pretty much everyone. If you've done this mod, do I drill out the rivets on the brackets I've circled and then fab new brackets?

I'm planning to put in a bracket to hard-mount the transmission cooler to avoid using zip-tie mounts through the radiator again. Then it'll be getting a proper fan shroud. The hoses aren't in great shape either, so they'll get replaced. I also keep finding coolant on top of my intake manifold, which I suspect is coming from a leaking thermostat housing. I think I'll replace the housing since I've done that gasket twice and still have a leak.
