Re: Converting to electric radiator fans

Ben, if you look carefully at the third picture, you'll see the aluminum angle and posts I attached to the lower core support channel. I drilled two corresponding holes in the lower fan shroud to mount the fan onto the angle bracket. It just slides onto the posts. For the upper attachment point I'm going to use the radiator cover threaded nuts that were originally for the factory shroud mounting. I'll make a couple of "L" shaped brackets to be riveted to the fan shroud and attach them to the factory thread nuts on the cover. I'll do this once the radiator is mounted into the truck, and the cover is screwed onto the radiator support. This will give me an exact mounting location. If the fans ever need replacing or repair, all I'll have to do is remove two screws, unplug the fan harness, and lift the fans out.
