Vmount reverse radiator mounting brackets?

So I juts picked up a HKS Vmount kit and it has everything except the brackets to mount the electric fan on the opposite side of the radiator. My first thought is: someone makes these and knows the dimensions and that would be my first and most preferable solution. Second that only HKS makes these, so I would have to order them custom from a dealer, which is gonna be $$$. Third, is that I would have to have these custom made by a someone, but I have no idea who. In the meantime I might have to just garage it/zip tie the thing.

So heres where the awesome forums come in. As I can tell, not too many people have this setup, BattleCat, Cossie. What are your solutions/suggestions?

Thanks!

You can ask the guys from rhdjapan.com if they can source the needed brackets directly from HKS if you don't find anybody for taking measurements

With straps? I do not see a picture his/her final mounts. Unless I am missing something.




To the OP, just make some brackets yourself.
