I'd at least get some 20-Gauge Galvanized Strap Tie and machine screws at Home Depot and hand-bend and hacksaw it and attach the radiator and other loose pieces with some metal brackets. It's not that hard or time consuming.

Ratchet strap on something that gets hot, could be crushed, and with fans and stuff, that's more on the duct tape end of things  ( not that I wouldn't use that to get home/to a garage).

Ratchet strap, zip tie, duct tape, a 2x4, whatever works is good.
