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: 516 Column Radiator Foot White - https://radiatorvalves4u.co.uk/516-column-radiator-foot-white/
Thanks
 
Looks fine to me maybe put some rubber foam between eg the sticky sided stuff (one side) but other than that
 
On the cast feet to stop paint damage between the feet and the rad
