Mounting the fan vertically left the fan shroud hanging down below the rad a couple inches so I cut a piece of 16 ga to fill the gap. I welded 1/4" bolts on the inside of the 16 ga for mounting the sheet to the bottom of the rad (inaccessible w/ shroud mounted) and secured the top of the sheet to the rad w/ 1/4" SS locknuts. The Taurus fan was mounted in the Taurus w/ the clips you see here (that I took when I pulled the fan in the yard). I welded these onto the bottom of the sheet so the bottom of the fan just slides in and is held tight. This makes for EASY R/R of the fan! Undo the two top bolts, unplug the weatherpack connector and slide it out the top... The shroud would not fit flush on the top of the rad so I used nylon spacers to get the 1/4" bolts tight w/o warping the shroud. I also used sticky 3M camper shell padding to pad the shroud where it rests on the rad fins. You can also see the clearance I have between the drivers side rad tank and my 4x4x2 stearing box. I DID mount the rad offset 1/2" towards the passenger side just for a little added buffer.
