Default electric fans and stock radiator
i bought 2 12" e-fans and was just planning on using the stock radiator, how do you guys mount these on the radiator? it seems like the zip ties it came w/ are to big to fit through the radiator fins.. these are the exact same fans that i got http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Unive...#ht_5418wt_911

"Na-t inprogress"

you will not cool the engine with 2 12" fans.

You will at least go 14" and 12"

The 1uz have to go 2 14"
