Default Need help with standing up radiator.

Ok so I got the griffin radiator that most use except dual pass on passenger side (same size). I want to put it under the support instead of cutting the entire thing out. Like in this thread https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1384649
Anyone have some ideas as far as brackets to hold it? I don't have a welder or know anyone that does, do if anyone has some ideas that would be awesome!

use a stud in the middle of the lower radiator support. drill a hole in the center and put a nut on both sides. put a rubber cap where the stud will touch the radiator, and adjust the stud until the radiator is snug against the upper support and the stud. this is how im going to do mine, but i have access to a welder so imma make a 90* holder for the radiator to sit it. i will weld it to the top of the stud. this makes for an adjustable bracket.

That's not a bad idea. You think it will be fine without a90* bracket?

i would prefer a 90* with some foam padding. but if you insulated the end of the stud with something it would probably be fine.
