    Anyone using the aux fan? How'd you mount it?

    Anyone here using the OEM aux fan for cooling? How'd you Guys mount it?
    Should I make up mounts and mount it as close as possible in front of my radiator? Thanks guys

    I heard that you need to use the M3 mounting brackets

                From my knowledge there's only three connectors so just mix and match the ones that will make the fan always turn on when the car's on haha.

                  I used a SPAL and used their mounting system.

                  The best way to explain it is that the mounts look like nails they go thru the radiator holes into a flat washer like piece that grabs the nail similar to a zip tie.

                  Wow that was hard to explain.

                    You can get european aux fan mounts for cars without A/C. That's what I used to run before my engine swap.
