For those of you using this setup or something similar, what did you use to mount the grill to the radiator since the hole positions and sizes don't match up? I was thinking of jb welding some nuts on top of the holes of the radiator and then mounting it but wanted to see what others have done before I tried.

Thanks.

i think i saw someone use zip ties once

Yeah zip ties is pretty ghetto so I didn't want to go that route. I figured out a solution so if anyone else runs into this problem, here's what to do:

Enlarge only 4 of the holes on the radiator and then go somewhere like Ace Hardware and buy metric screws that look the same as the one that came w/the Evo 240 grill but slightly wider. Those will fit perfectly into the pre-existing holes on the radiator and for the ones that you had to enlarge to match the grill, use threaded inserts and put those in there and then jb bond them permanently. This worked out perfectly for me and it won't have that ghetto zip tie look.

Here's the end results, no zip ties needed:
