[DeTomaso] Pusher Fans with stock fan brackets

The entire fan bracket ass'y on each side is spot-welded in, and if your car is like most, a few welds are already broken. Some come out with no tools.... So if you drill out the remaining spot welds, the stock brackets can be easily replaced and will look about the same. But once you add a couple of real fans, you'll likely never go back. Most lo-profile aftermarket units blow 3-5X the wind of stock fans. And sucker systems fit fine on upright radiators- its only for service convenience that we lay down the radiators.
Good luck- J DeRyke

This probably doesn't solve your issue, but it may help to have a
   little
more data.A  Maybe you can fashion it with similar
   mounting?A
