Fan Quick Mount Kit

Does anyone know where I could purchase a quick mount kit to attach a fan to the radiator . The attached picture shows what I am after. Europa do sell them but they want £7 postage!!!

What's wrong with cable ties?! After all, that's mainly what those things are.

I got my fan from here, came with fitting kit so he might be able to help.

Don't do it!! The cable ties are slightly serated and will cut through your radiator core....

Do it properly....

NO

It is the best way to ruin your rad core - trust me - I did it and regretted it.

So just turn them round, so the flat bit is against the core.

I am in 100% agreement with Mr R here - I have posted my opinoions about these in the past so won't repeat them.

But I end with one question - have you ever seen these used on a production car?

Aside from cutting through the core do they not also crush the fins??
