there are several ways you can install it, I used the plastic zip adapters one in each corner, then put the factory shroud over it

Weed,
I installed the efan from Moe's. Not having seen one installed I just went with the obvious. Used the two provided bracket plates and just cut them to fit the lower and upper radiator lips. Very securely mounted. Had to cut back the support webs on the original shoud to fit properly. All worked out well. Still playing with the controller. My question is: what is done with the threaded water pump shaft? Does anyone know the thread size? I would like to put a nut on the pump shaft.

IDK what the thread size is but you could take the fan and find a bolt for it and then get a nut for that bolt which would be the same as the water pump. But I dont think anyone has had any issues from it coming off or loose.

Weed, That was what I had planned to do. I guess I was hoping someone had already had an answer. Worse case scenario would be to cut the threaded piece off the clutch shaft and clean it up on a lathe and just screw it back on. I really don't think it is needed but I want to cover the threads. Maybe a rubber cap.
