So was it a generic radiator supposed to fit your vehicle ?

Or a radiator ordered as a like for like replacement for what you sent them ?


And is there no sort of rubber/vibration damping mounts going on there ?

I though originally it was your end tanks etc, but with a new core ? Although I see the brackets you show are on the core plates itself ?

Yes, my end tanks with a new core.
There are rubber resilient mounts but not shown in the photographs - they are like grommets with one side of smaller OD. Hole diameter for grommet is 12mm and centre hole of grommet is a shade over 8mm.

Bottom mounts are pegs, top mounts use bolts.
The bottom mounts are in the correct position and the radiator is centred which suggests that the error is with the top mounts.
