Fan Mounting to Radiator

Hi all. I'm trying to find the easiest way to mount these Malibu fans to this 3rd gen radiator for my ls swap... the radiator doesn't have the the factory clips that holds the fans. Any suggestions?

I cut the upper and lower flanges off of the original fan shroud and bonded them to a GTO fan assembly. It fits perfectly and bolts on like the original single fan. I was looking for the pictures that I took, but I seem to have lost them.

I found one.

If you look closely, you can see that I riveted some L- brackets in place for additional support while the 3M 8115 structure bond cured.
