I mounted mine with the provided bolts/washers etc in the thermo kit, in line with the engine fan so it sucks through harder, cooling very well.

You can buy the proper zip ties for them from repco etc but they arent cheap considering they are just 4 zip ties and foam pads.

This is my thermo.

When my old fan died (it had the thin bolts through the radiator) I went and bought a supercheapy calibre branded one (12"?) and it fit perfectly with the stuff provided in the kit to bolt onto the radiator side frame instead of through the fins. Bonus was it seems to flow alot more than my old one and is still going strong a couple years later.
