Yes
that is the same as the rad i used in my car. I made two brackets with holes drilled in them to locate on the bottom mounting pegs and two brackets
that attached to the tapped holes for fan mounting at the top.

Hi Marshall,
The rad sits vertical right at the front of the nose - about 5 inches out from the front of the chassis.
I welded a flat bat across the width of the car, that was the width of the radiator, almost at the front of the bar that sticks out to bolt the nose
to. I then drilled a hole at each end of this bar and the two pegs on the bottom of the radiator just drop into the two holes on the flat bar.
You can see how I mounted the top in this pic.
Hope that hels,
Pat...

I have used the fan from Robin Hood. £13 and does the job. I don't think you can do much better!

The Polo rad fan is a bit big and bulky (heavy). I used a fan from a Fiat Uno!
