Default Someone wanted pictures of slim radiator fan install?

Someone asked how I installed my 9" slim radiator fan. The stock fan on the driver's side fits fine behind the fat (Koyo) radiator, but the fan on the passenger side does not. I just took the motor and fan out of the fan shroud, then cut the motor mounting bracket off of the shroud. This took off 2"-3" of depth. I then just placed the whole (Fluidyne) 9" slim fan inside of the stock fan shroud and fastened it to the shroud with plastic tie downs. Now you can just mount the thing to the radiator like normal.







Here's a nice reminder of how much extra cooling you get over stock:


Edit: PS the connector on the Fluidyne fan was incorrect, so I just cut the connector off of both fans, and spliced the stock connector onto the Fluidyne fan.
