Default Aftermarket Top Rad Hold down
I'm going from mechanical fan to electric fans with a shroud. Looking for a supplier that sells a top plate that holds down the rad. I've seen them before somewhere.

Something like this should work. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/s...2b?seid=srese1

Are you going with fans like this with the shroud? I find they work really good as they have the rubber flaps that also allow air to flow through the radiator at high speeds.

Are you doing the electric water pump at the same time?

I was going to ..but looked at the cost of a pump and a new belt setup..too pricey for now. Maybe if I start racing more.

Something similar to that Summit part but would like four holes in the factory location.
