Install Electric Cooling Fans
At 2:58 in
72 LSA Monte Carlo Boom Tube NASCAR Exhaust FIRST DRIVE! (Fab Process & Finishing Touches)
What happens here
Before mounting, inspect the car's large Griffin radiator. The creator recounts an earlier attempt to protect the radiator fins with bug screen, which has now failed. To attach the new electric fans, poke four 'radiator clamp' style fasteners through the top of the radiator fins. For the bottom two fasteners, modify standard zip ties by cutting off their locking 'nub' so that the head fits snugly against the fan bracket but the tail can be pulled through the radiator fins without allowing the head to pass through. This improvisational method secures the fans to the radiator.
Goal: Securely mount two universal electric fans to the radiator.
