    Are there small steel rods running across the radiator at top and bottom?

    You'll have to cut and paste this.

    It is possible with the right radiator.

    The radiators held together with threaded rod are the easiest but often it requires a little application of heat from a torch and the use of a hydraulic porta power or a couple of chisels, when putting back together I use silicone rubber (RTV) and let the stuff set up before applying any system pressure
