Brackets done i added 3 of them "pic doesn't show it" i pop riveted them to the edges so the top cover plate would have something to sit on

Re: Griffin Radiator Home made brackets/etc

If you look close i made 4 L brackets,drilled holes threw them an pop riveted to the fan shroud.i don't have any up close pics SORRY Thats what the Zip ties go threw to hold it in place on the rad. I then Set the fans in between the Radiator,where i wanted them,They fit REAL NICE but you see that there not quite wide enough,But i have NOT had any issues with it over heating.Since the pic i just moved the fan shroud up evenly with the top of the Radiator

I used Radiator zip ties "they go all the way threw your radiator" to attach the fans to the radiator .The kit comes with all the rubber washer so that nothing gets damage,
