Well the car is an odd one. Started its life as a 408, but now with a 410 front end. Do you know if the 411 radiator will go into a 410 nose?

If it has been modified like you say then maybe the best thing to do is to measure it up yourself. Make it 2-3 cm smaller in height and width, so you can have brackets made locally and fitted. As you live in a hot country I would make the radiator thicker than the usual ones fitted to Bristol, with 2 electric fans fitted in front.
