Default Radiator clearance for T3, FRST

Im having problems fitting my rad. Sent it of to be Recored. I have now got it back realised it was being held with sponge to prevent actuator hitting.
Has anyone got pics of how they have mounted thier rad as there is hardly any space, how have you mounted the rad as I dont seem to have the original brackets.
Pics, and tips would be nice to get a idea how to solve this problem.
Still using standard rad, std fan
Thanks

Ive decided to head to b&q to get some brackets, Just want to get a nice tidy fit,
would be nice if I could have seen pics of how others went about the problem.
Thanks
