🚗 Spectra Complete Radiator CU1409: Optimize Your Vehicle's Cooling System Review

The top two screw holes for the fan mount don't line up exactly, but that can be fixed. In particular, when aligning the fan assembly on a new heatsink, the fan assembly will make contact with the heatsink housing before the top two mounting holes can be fully installed. This leaves a small gap between the two pieces for…
