    slim fan installation

    I bought a slim fan from a member here to reroute my IC. Its a spal slim fan, but it didnt come with any mounting hardware. Can you guys snap a couple pix at your convenience so I have an idea how to properly mount it? The oem fan's mounting location doesn't align with the slim fan's mounting area. IT would be great if you also have a spal fan, but other brands are also a good help. Thanks.

    I used radiator zip ties. They're as thin as the air pockets in the rad and to lock it you just slip a button looking tab after slipping it through. It's a lot easier than using an actual zip tie. The radiator vents are easily bent
