CNC Machined Brackets for Griffin Radiator

Was looking through the boards for some ideas but came up with something else. I designed it in solidworks and luckly my family owns an aerospace company where I had it cut. The radiator is sitting on top of the stock mounts and it doesnt move at all. Let me know what u guys think.

Thats awesome man...by far the best setup I've seen yet. Are you willing to make some more? I would consider buying that. How does the fan hook to the rad?

Thanks guys. I would be hesitant to sell these just because I know they wont fit perfect right off the CNC. I had to manually machine mine a little bit after they were cut and I have a feeling it would be different for every car, just they way the radiator sits on the stock mounts.

Im using two 12" fans I bought through summit. You can see towards the right of the radiator the black plastic fan mount, it uses the plastic rods that go right through the radiator and have a plastic ratcheting nut on the end.

If you weren't willing to sell them, would you be willing to share the solidworks CNC file?
