Free-standing rads. I need help quickly....JohnNY

This may be too much information but here's the story:
Big movie star customer had her home remodeled. Engineer grossly miscalculated heat loss and she froze all winter. I was asked to help with solution. I suggested home was under-radiated. Insurance company's engineer's calculations concurred.
The new engineer spec'd 15 freestanding radiators of various sizes. Some would require an ODD number of sections. Burnham and Governale told me NO WAY to have them made that way.
I know I've done that before.
I need the rads early next week at the latest.
What gives?
Can someone help?
By the way, I'm not taking a section out of an oversized one myself. The property is too valuable for me to take a chance.

Is it Liv?
Why can't you get odd number rads? Can't you get the sections and put them together yourself?
I know that Burnham gets some very nice looking rads from France and they can have as many sections as you want. You would probably not get them by next week though.
Go to Maddog's house and take a few of his. He won't mind!
Can you get a few "temporary" rads?
Geeze! The engineer screws up and now you get to jump through hoops!
If it's Liv, I'll help you carry the rads in!

It's Liv.
The job has to be finished by April 1, so temporary won't do.
My Burnham rep said it isn't done anymore and I'm out of ideas.
It seems like "jump through hoops" is what I do...
...ever feel like that?

Thanks, Matt.
I tried that. Unfortunately, her insurance company will only pay for new, warranteed materials. There are, like, a thousand people involved in this thing.
