I learned NOT to mount the fan in front of the radiator. It caused  
Peyote to actually overheat--first time ever. I'd never use the ties  
again either--they might be too soft to rub through the radiator  
metal, but the grit that gathers around them is not. I got a leaky rad  
from a push-through mount. I just made a bracket to mount the fan in  
back of the radiator (spaced well away) and ran it as a puller. You  
only run it on the grid or when tuning anyway. Now I actually have  
made a removable fan that I just stick in for hot days on the grid or  
tuning.
