[DeTomaso] Attaching Fans to Fluidyne Radiator

I have a Fluidyne radiator I just purchased through Bobby Byers. The first
one sent was damaged in shipping, so I removed the fans and temp sensors he
installed and OOPS, er, I mean, UPS picked up the bent rad.
When I removed the fans Bobby had installed for me from the first rad, he
had run a sheet metal screw through the leading edge of the top and bottom
plates of the radiator assembly to do the attachment. My question is this.
When I look at the radiator, I can't tell if there are any core tubes hiding
flush with the top and bottom plates that I need to watch out for when I put
the screws in the new radiator, or are there just cooling veins up there,
and nothing to worry about (relatively speaking).
Thanks in advance.
As a side note, I have to offer kudos to Precision Proformance. I called
Bobby this Monday last to let him know the radiator had arrived damaged late
Thursday afternoon, 7/3. OOPS had dropped the box on one end, and the
radiator was literally bent sideways 1/2" from top to bottom, and the core
had sagged 1/2" between the ends. It was ugly. OOPS was already queued up
to pick up the damaged unit on Tuesday, and here, Friday, a new one was
already on my doorstep, nice and straight. Thanks guys!
