Which fan doesn't fit and why? Can you post a pic?

If it's the AC fan, you can run it for now. Slim fan's mount up fairly easy. Some use zip ties without fail. I would use a strip of metal with holes in it. (almost like an erector set)

I stuck my zipties through the radiator fins. So far, they are holding up just fine. Also, no overheating problems at all. They are more efficient than stock.

what kind of radiator did you get? I have to replace mine soon and I'd rather not run into this problem.

I was thinking about ordering that same radiator from that seller...but I was kind of leary to the fact that it didn't specify whether it was to replace the Denso or Showa oem radiator. Which one came in your car originally? I have a Showa.
