Electric Fan mounting brackets

Any recommendations for brackets? Its for dual 11" (maybe 12" i need to double check) fans on an aluminum radiator.

The be cool brackets seem WAY to overpriced (over 100$ for a few brackets seems insane)

I want em to look nice and i dont want to use the ones that slide through the radiator, want the ones that sit on the top and bottom tanks.

Thanks!

Do you have the link to a pic of them with dimensions/sizes needed?

Here's an example (need to confirm the size of my rad and fans)

Basically just mount the top and bottom brackets with the long pieces spanning from the top to the bottom keeping the brackets in place, the fans are then mounted on those pieces. Very simple...and I find it rediculous they want near 200$ for a few pieces of aluminum.

Don't see the example.  Sounds like they would be easy to make.

I have two 14 " Permacool fans on my 31X19 radiator each is held on by four nylon wiretie type pins that go thru the cooling fins and have a foam pad between the fan leg and the radiator. I was sceptical at first but they have worked fine for two years/12,000 miles.

My fan is mounted by the ties also and haven't had any problems but the brackets type look simple enough to make.  I would make them before I paid that kinda of coin for them and probably out of stainless.
