Last time I looked at my mk2 polo rad. There seemed to be four mounting holes.
These were just holes in the plastic and would need self tappers, not 100% convinced, anyone got any pics of a similar install?

There were two plastic lugs on the bottom of mine so I located these rubber gromits, mounted in a 3mm ally plate.

I used the mounting holes for the fan on one side and as bracing to the chassis on the other side.

I'll try to post pictures tomorrow.

You can used bolt to drive into the plastic mounting lugs.

Bob has some good pics in his archive. I did mine this way also

I made up a mounting plate that bolts to the rad then bolts to the car,

There are a few other photo's in my archive. Can't say that its a tried & trusted way as I'm not on the road yet.

I mounted mine by the 4 holes. Just screwed M5 (I think) set screws in. Check the depth first and screw length and leave a bit to spare. Screw cuts its own thread.

my westy is just mounted on the 4 plastic lugs threaded with m5 allen bolts,
no problems so far.

I used the 2 pins on the bottom into brackets on the chassis to take the weight and then fitted 2 brackets to the top tapped holes and chassis using large self taps.

you can just see the top mounting a piece of folded ali and bottom mount welded to chassis
