you should have two brackets coming down off the rad/engine mounts with tabs sticking in with nuts spot welded on you can bolt the oil cooler to, as in the right hand side of this pics:

the onluy place i can see that it will fit is on the four tabs on the bottom of the rad juat not sure it will be strong enough to hold it

i think the H1 or zx4 does'nt have an oil cooler, just the small rad.
under the sump does it have 2 inlets for the oil cooler pipes? if not dont bother with the oil cooler.
If it does, maybee see if you can get a h2 setup?
on the h2 the oil cooler bolts straight to the rad
