Re: Fan shroud holes won't line up
This happened to me when I installed a 4-row radiator in place of a 2 or 3.
I had to get new "cups" for the bottoms and rubber for top and bottom. When I got done nothing lined up.
I ended up NOT using the factory clips on the bottom. Down there I have cable ties. (You trailer queen folks probably are worried about people looking at the bottom of the fan shround and should look for a different solution there). Using the cable ties allowed some play in the top.
For the top I made little brackets out of sheet metal. (queens will probably want to paint those black.)
Those little "brackets" and cable ties have been in place since May of 2003 with no cooling issues or fan rubbing problems.
