MK3 Radiator picture request

[Benchwarmer]

Picture request:
Looking for a picture looking at the top of the radiator mount for a MK3 Roadster. I purchased my car recently and they had replaced the radiator. They did a pretty piss poor job at mounting it. I have the build manual and it didn't really have a picture if what it should look like when it's completed.
I'm installing the breeze shroud, diverter panel, lower radiator hose and a filler neck.
I'm thinking the best way to fix this would be to add 2 riv-nuts to the top brace as shown by the 2 blue dots in th picture. Also, I don't see a mount or resting location for the bottom of the radiator. Does it just hang from the top?

thats a pretty typical install method. I prefer to use a piano hinge at the top.
Breeze sells upper and lower mounts that might help you out.

+1 on the breeze upper and lower mounts. you'll need to cut those 3/4" tabs off the cross member for the upper mount to work.
Don't try reverse engineering them yourself. I found that it only saved a few bucks and was a lot more headache that it was worth.

Thanks for the heads-up! I wound up ordering from Mike and he's going to send it out Priority Mail to me.

I did order everything from Breeze this morning! I just had a shipment from him last week and I should have looked deeper knowing what I was trying to do.
