The problem is that the fan needs to be able to build a pressure head in or=
der for the air to be forced through the radiator. As with any fluid flow t=
he bulk of the fluid (air in this case) will go where the resistance is low=
er, which means anywhere except through the radiator core. Placing the fan =
against the core and sealing the edges in some way allows the fan to build =
enough head to force the bulk of the air through the core.
I modified the cross braces on my car by cutting them loose from the upper =
bracket (two were already broken loose), bending them slightly forward from=
their bases and welding a sheetmetal angle to the upper brace to which I t=
hen re-weld the upper ends of the cross braces. This gave me an extra inch =
or so of clearance to allow the fans to be mounted to the front of the radi=
ator. I used foam weatherstrips to seal the outer edges of the fan shrouds =
to the radiator core. The fans mounted side by side are wider than the radi=
ator core so I fabricated blanking plates from alloy sheet and mounted them=
to the overlapping fan shrouds outboard of the core so that the fans can o=
nly blow through and not around the core.
I thought that I had taken some pictures during the process, but I haven't =
been able to find them. I'm going to have to remove the grille to get any k=
ind of pictures, but I'll try to do that tomorrow.

Patrick,
Here are a couple of shots of my car back in 2007 when I installed an el=

to that problem, but like I said, lots of room in there!
