Not by the time you have paid postage on top.

why not do it the locost way and get 4 beefy cable ties from B&Q and off cuts of mdf with a bit of sponge
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but its sinking, Racing around to come up behind you again, the sun is the same in a relative way but
your older, shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Whatever kit you get, invest in some plastic tubing. Run the cable ties through the tubing, which goes through the fins of the rad and prevents the
plastic sawing through the rad

cbs at the Stafford show?
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

IMO that is not a kit but a bodge. 
Whenever you see things like this, ask yourself this question: Which mass produced car uses this?
It is a reasonable assumption that car manufacturers have a clue about what they are doing.
Search for my previsous posts about these.
There will be people who will post saying they have these fitted and they are perfectly ok but that doesn't change my opinion (I am not
alone).
A bracket to hold the fan it the correct way IMO.
That is my advisce - what you do is up to you.

As mentioned OEM's use a frame to mount the fans, not fixings through the rad. Vib's through the fan may well wear through the
matrix
I used flat ali bar from B&Q bolted to the front of the rad, (2 bits) fan bolted to them. Means the fans not touching the matrix so less chance of
damaging. Then flash over with some matt black to tidy it all up.
Sorry, no pics, bent the thing in half going through the hedge
