Default Radiator- Really need help

Well guys, I just lost a radiator. I was driving along and something clicked and antifreeze went everywhere. Theres some kind of rod or something thats wrapped around the fan. What the hell is that? It cut through the raditor. Any help would be appreciated, but I think I give up entirely. Nothing ever works and when it does something else goes wrong.

Default Radiator- Really need help

I just replaced my radiator with an aluminum unit from universal parts. I bought it off of ebay for 159.00 and 20.00 for shipping. It measures 19 X 31 and fits perfectly. It is a universal fit but mounts very very easily. I bought a new radiator mounting bracket from steeda also. I would have never guessed how easily this installed and how much better it cools the car.
