Do you guys use electric fans on your radiators, on your lowriders or no?...reason i ask is cause i have one on mine, but it fucked my radiator up..when i was hitting switches it mustve flexed and it dug into my radiator, basically destroying it...just wanted to know what you guys use..Thanks!

I had a set of electric fans cooling my 350 and never really had an issue. Mine originally came with rubber mounts (for extra movement) but I ended up actually having some brackets attached to the rediator and bypassed the rubber mounts all together....

Some say this is a bad idea, but it worked fine for the few years I had the car.

those through ties are a bad idea, find a way to attach it to either the core support, or to the frame of the radiator itself.

Yea thats exactly what is holding it on, those zip ties. I was gonna fabricate some kind of mounting brackets on my new one.

kinda tough to see but the shroud is part of ther radiator it self so no cheap straps going through it
