Here's how I tackled fitting the Fiesta rad to my car, inspired (and not entirely copied) by Jeroen.
Image
Simple aluminium frame made to be snug and riveted around the rad itself, two brackets riveted to either side at the top of the frame, with captive fixings fitted to the car. One central bracket underneath that I then welded a pickup point onto the inner front panel for, unhelpfully I can't find any pictures of it now, but it's not terribly hard to imagine.
That won't work with a Saab radiator Oli,
because said radiator is too wide for the inner front panel. Instead it is necessary to remove the some of the lower mounting flanges. It is quite obvious when you offer the radiator up to the car.
Your's does look a good solution for fitting the Ford radiator, though.

It is too wide. But I have a solution to that problem without hacking away at anything. All will become clear in time :-)
