Just out of curiosity, what happened to your front mount???  :) 

Do you need me to talk to James to see if you can "borrow" it back????  :)

Actually I don't feel the fan does much, if anything since it doesn't have a shroud.  I don't run the fan on my cars.

On the site there is a nifty link to installation instructions. I'm thinking one would want to fab up some straps or something other than the nifty plastic, stick through the radiator and rub a hole or have a plastic strap break at an inoportune time, like the trans coolers do to a radiator.

And I thought the proper term is side cutter, would want to offend the lesbians.(in the tools needed box there)
