Default New Radiator, Fan mountin Probs

Just installed my Griffin 27.5"x19" 2 Row(each row is 1") Aluminum Radiator.
Had to slightly modify the brackets and move one of them so I could get it held down.
Also had to modify one of the radiator hoses too so it would fit without kinking.

Anyways, heres my little dilema
My fan has a small shroud-like thing surrounding it and that is what I believe screwed up my last stock radiator.
And my new radiator barely has a lip to it at the very top.
The old stock one had those long oblong holes where you could mount basically anything.
This one doesnt have but one.
SO I have to mount my catchcan to the side somewhere and I'm clueless as to what to do with the fan.

Can anyone suggest a fan/radiator mounting kit instead of me useing the stock crap I modified? (dont trust it too much).
Need to know ASAP, want my baby running

Default RE: New Radiator, Fan mountin Probs

Welp, to all those that responded I got myself a Temp. Fix!
Created sort of a shroud out of a Doggie Door lock thing(was a metal plate that slid in front of the doggie door so they cant get in or out)
Folded it around my radiator sorta(not too secure at the bottom)
and bolted my fan to it.
Hope it stays for a while
