The bottom rad mounts are part of the chassis. I think you will find all the rads use the same mounting points, top and bottom.

Well, I found out some info from a very helpfull radiator guy that might help others.
The Zu rad has...
-5 pipes running through the core
-is more robust than the V8 rad
-the core is thinner than the V8 (I think, can't remember if I got that right)
-you can get a 3 pipe or 5 pipe recore with the 3 core being cheaper but slightly less efficient.
-the tanks are the same as the V8 rad
-The mountings are the same as the V8 rad

I went for the 5 core heavy duty rad and paid $862 from Martin at Express Radiators in Welshpool, 0405 237 346. I'm very impressed with his workmanship and his service. Importantly, he knows landrover radiators.

Hope this helps.

hmmm, I recently bought a County radiator from CLR for $350. As long as it cools the hot water enough, and holds it in there..... then I'm happy.
