[DeTomaso] Attaching Fans to Fluidyne Radiator

[Will Kooiman]

I used pop-rivets to attach a piece of angle aluminum to the top support
piece on my Fluidyne.  I attached the fans to the other side of the angle
aluminum.

I was careful to use short rivets.  I don't have any leaks.

I would assume that Bobby Byers knows where he can screw or at least how far
he can go and be safe.

Will.

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!
