How can I stop one of my radiators tapping when the central heating comes o?

One of our radiators makes a tapping sound when the central heating first comes on in the morning. What could be causing this and how can I stop it ?

the radiator brackets should have small plastic anti vibration clips on the hooks where the rad sits,if not it will be metal to metal causing the tapping,local merchants may have some.
