Radiator installed, HOWEVER...

So I got the 3 core radiator. Fits snug, but not without the bugs of installing like I read on the sticky. But now the OEM single fan does not fit with the new RAD. It wont bolt back on. What are my options at this point? Dicth the single fan? Which aftermarket dual fans would you recommend or would fit better with the 3 core?

Doesn't bolt in ??? I read a post here somewhere that someone added a nut between the fan mount and fan to space it back a bit so it doesn't touch the radiator..

Re: Radiator installed, HOWEVER...

UPDATE: I tweaked the fan a little around the mounting points and finally got the fan hooked back up. However the bottom bolts I can't fit because its a little off. I'm gonna go get a set of small metal hose clamps like the ones on our RAD hoses and use those in place like zip ties, only made out of metal. Reading page after page of the 3 core radiator sticky really helped.
