Here are the mounting straps ready to be
fastened on. This mounting kit came with the four rivets and four
lock-nuts that you see below. I shot some black paint on the straps
before I nailed them down.

Here you can see the fan mounted and I
didn't have any leaks either. Mounting the fan
this way is much better than if you went through the fins of the
radiator because the other way could end up causing leaks at one time or
another. I already know what leaks are all about and don't want to see that
movie again.

I had to use the flash to see the fan
behind the grill because when the grill isn't in direct
sunlight, you can't see behind it. This fan is hooked to the fan-relay
along with my 185 degree temp sensor but I may put in a switch to manually
turn the fan on and off when I want. The next time I drive it, I'll be
able to see if the switch is necessary.

Here is the style of wheels I went
with which are made by
Billet
Specialties. This is a 15 X 12 and the style is a
GTX01. They are an all aluminum wheel with a 4 3/4 offset. Now
these aren't a very busy wheel like some are but you can see through the
centers to show off all the disc brake rotors. Let's take a look at them
mounted on my tires.
