That looks a good buy :cool:  I would have preferred it without those fan carrier lugs on though....

Pic is of the back of the radiator, and shows the 4 tapped lugs that the fan carrier locates to, 2 between the inlet/outlet pipes the other 2 on the other end of the rad, what Im say is that if it was my rad, I would not be using the OE fan that mounted to the heavy steel carrier, I would be fitting a "Pacet" fan that secures directly to the radiator core, and therefore no need for the lugs...

Again, if it was me, I would contact the company, and ask if it would be possible to have one without the lugs... as It could be that they are made to order, and not kept as stock, just a thought... looks a great product though, we have paid 6 times that amount for similar hand made products for our race cars, and baring in mind that materials alone would cost about £40/50 then the best part of a day folding the parts, and TIGing together... bargain :cool:

Yeah Thom funds just don't go that far anymore £50-£60 seems a lot to me these days, and a Pacet slim line would be agreeable. :grin:
Aren't their mount lugs for the wind deflectors on the front of the Rad both sides?

Pacet fans come up on ebay all the time, and in a lot of cases, next to nothing! fitting kits are also available on ebay for around a fiver

Wind deflector mounts, not sure tbh without looking...
