Default turbo rad

hello to all, Ive recently got a pro ally turbo cooler radiator, but i noticed it will not fit with the standard radiator on my 2wd sierra cosworth. has anyone else had this problem and what have they done to resolve this.

many thanks

Bit of metal to fit between the two mounting faces, bolted to each hole.
Are the brackets the right width to fit the old intercooler mounts? If so, it looks almost like the brackets have been welded to the wrong side of the rad?!
