So I just got some fans from viper966, and well...quite frankly...they don't fit, how the heck am i supposed to mount these? They are 10X smaller in every way, what do I do to mount?

water channels are the horizontal thin bars running from one side to another. they are what the rad fluid runs through. the fins are inbetween each water channel, and are the things that dissapate the heat.

i've got the same fans, they are the ones speed-factor was selling. I'm planning on mounting them like this (courtesy of roadraceengineering.com)
I've bought a couple aluminum bars from lowes and am going to try it out.

go to autozone or pepboys... get the trannycooler mounting kit its like 4 bux
basically u push these long round zip ties thruogh the radiator (it will only go through one way... and it wont damage anything
than on the other side u put this lil washer on and u zip it on... and pull the fan against the radiator

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Supercow @ Aug 31 2005, 04:10 AM)</div><div class='quotemain'>do you have to buy another kit everytime you want to take off your fans though? I think I'll try my custom brakets first...
