Koyo Small Radiator and Slim Fan install

Hey guys i need a little help so i can hook up my FF manifold. Feel a little stupid with something so easy causing me so much trouble. Trying to install the koyo small radiator and slim fan and am a little confused on how it mounts to the car and the fan mounts to the radiator. I can install the stock one in no time at all but this is my first small radiator, any advice, directions, tips be appreciated, ESPECIALLY any pictures. Thanks ahead of time.

slim fans have these plastic rod looking things that go through the radiator and a clip goes on the other end,And u pull it tight and snip it then place the radiator in that lil hole on the bottom of the radiator support put the bracket on the top radiator stud and bolt it down with the 2 screws.

If you haven't got it installed yet, the stock radiator harness is what you want to tap for fan control. The thick blue wire is the switch 12v fan control, and thick black wire is a ground. Assuming you have a 2-wire slimline like I do.

Yup same 2wire fan as you. I figured that out. Was just struggling with mounting it last night but it was 9pm and i had been at work since 6am so i was about to pass out on the car. Thank you very much for the advice. Helped a lot! Happy holidays to you!

Any pics of this bud or you could take of the backside or underneath part, mine seems to be hitting everything and not lining up at all.

I just got the stm half rad kit and have some questions. First it came with four black plastic brackets, I'm assuming this is to mount the fan. Anyone have any pics of how this is done? Also stock there is that cast piece with points on it, what do you
Guys do with this. Is it needed?

I take you got it installed properly or you still need some help. Ive been going to boneyard and get small radiator from older small Hondas and they work good. Just have to make new upper mount.
