angled bay window radiator

[duj666]

Hi does anyone have any experience of angled bay window radiators?
I have had one made and the two side panels don't match the angles of the walls they don't even touch the bracket. Would it be easier to buy big brackets or get the wall plastered more to match the radiator angle???
Any help would be much appreciated.

Did you make a template and give that to the maker/fabricator or just offer them some measurements?

wrong template given now I have to sort it just wondered which would be easier to do

If you attach the brackets to the rad (duct tape?), and offer the lot up to the wall, how much space is there behind the brackets?

 

[duj666]

about 30-35mm what would you recommend?

That's a big discrepancy.

You could use wooden packing pieces and really long screws to attach the brackets, but to be honest, it would look really botchy.

I can't see any way round it other than ordering a new rad. Have you contacted the supplier just to double check that there's no way of altering the one you've got?

You talk about "side panels". Do you mean it's several separate rads joined together? If so, how are they linked?
