Fan fitting Kit?

Hi Guys,

After a front end shunt i have damaged my Nose/ Rad/ Fan...

I have now everything squared up again but the Fan, the plastic clip in mounts have broken and now im left with a Fan in perfect working order but no way of mounting it to the rad again, i had thought about fitting the fan using some pieces of alloy angle but not fussed on metal mountings against the Rad fins..

The Fan is made by 'Jaguar Precision' googled it and its a company in Taiwan who only list the Fan itself.

Here are some pics..







Does anyone know if you can buy these clip in mounts? or should i just buy a new fan? seems like a waste to ditch it!

I have found where to get new pins on rally design to put through the Rad..

Any help would be great...




But no angled plastic clips

could you not use the radiator fan mounting kits sold by the likes of CBS? round tir wrap type affairs that go through the radiator cores and are held in place by small square bits of plastic.

hold the radiator very securely and bit neater than tie wraps if that sort of thing bothers you

Radiator tie through the holes in the fan body next to where the mounting point is.
