Hello guys,
I'm fitting my water radiator (Mercedes 190)
When the radiator stands on the lower brackets I've welded to front frame lower tube FF1, the height of the original fitting holes of the radiator matches with the height of front frame upper tube FF4 (see pictures below)

My plan (but I haven't done anything yet as I would like to collect your opinions about that before), is to weld two M8 nuts on the front face of FF4, and to fit the upper points of the radiator with long M8 bolts. The ends of these M8 bolts will be screwed into the welded nuts on FF4, and I will add the necessary lock-nuts to hold the radiator in place vertically.
Here is a picture of what I wan to do (with the threaded rod cut at the right length of course
)

Do you guys see anything wrong with this installation? It would be so much simpler for me to do that rather than cutting and welding another set of brackets.
All comments and opinion are welcome.
Thank you
