Slim Fan Zip Ties?

Does anybody know where I can purchase the zip ties that are used to mount a slim fan to a radiator? These are the ones that have a flat base that you feed through the radiator and have another flat base lock that it feeds into. I'm probably searching by the wrong name, any help is appreciated.

^ It won't

Unless you make special brackets that's how I've seen 95% of slim fans set up. Don't scare people

Just make sure the fan sits on something and is not held up with the zip ties. The zip ties should just be to hold the fan to the radiator.

Otherwise, they're fine to use. Racers have been using them for ages.
