Column rad feet on non-column rad

[phloaw]

One pic shows the experiments I'm doing with supporting a type 11 radiator (160cm wide, 50cm high, total weight around 35kg) using universal column radiator feet.
The other pic shows the detail of the contact surface between the rad and the feet.




Aesthetic considerations apart, is there foreseeable problem with what I'm doing?

 

Of course, the feet would be in addition to standard wall-mounted brackets (which I wanted to complement because I don't trust their strength, for various reasons).

I'm asking because these feet are sold to be used on column rads, which my rad is not: https://radiatorvalves4u.co.uk/516-column-radiator-foot-white/

The obvious question has to be WHY are you doing this?

I have looked at their other posts and they are having issues getting a fixing for the rads!

Screw a large piece of ply or osb behind the rad, into where the studs are.  You can then screw your rad brackets on where they need to be.
