Questions & Answers
I'd start by determining why the temperature is so high. Close the car after it has reached operating temperature and feel the radiator all over. It's clogged if it has any cool spots. If it's a bad fan, say if it's a clutch fan with a lot of slippage. it needs to be changed The electric fan is held in place by these plastic rods. I live in Florida, where it is extremely hot, and I own a 170 Nova. To keep it cool in traffic, I installed a "push" fan in the front. If you double-check everything and it's just hot, an electric fan would probably help.
You'd have to burn it down. It's a high-end tie wrap.
I believe it was around the age of 8-years-old when I first heard about 9 inches. I threaded them through the radiator, secured them with clips, and cut them to length.
Heat a VERY THIN putty knife and slide it between the radiator and the back of one of the ends once it's nearly red hot. If it's hot enough, it should work fine. I just did it with a trans cooler and it worked perfectly. On these, there's always room to pull it to the side. If you're removing these from a vehicle with a fan housing, you can simply do so on the back of the vehicle. If you're only removing one with a fan, I could simply warm up a screwdriver. Also, if you have to do this right up against the radiator, don't go against the fins; instead, slide the putty knife in where the fins are long ways; I'm sure there are other ways, but this is how I do it because it's quick and doesn't cause any damage.

Over the years, I've installed a number of transmission coolers. I'm familiar with how these things function. I ran them through the trans cooler with pads into the radiator, and I had to bend the stems upwards for clearance (which was limited due to the electric fan in the way), and two of them literally snapped with very little pressure. They were extremely brittle, and they broke flush against the radiator. Two out of four, to be exact. By pressing a little on the trans cooler, I was able to get a bite with the locking disc. So far, three of the four components have been set up. The other came up short, and no amount of reasonable pressure would allow the locking disc to be installed. I would not purchase this brand again, and I will need to purchase another set in order to properly secure my belongings. I haven't contacted Amazon because I needed to get this done in order to get my car back on the road, but at $8 for some plastic zip ties, I am extremely disappointed.
It's convenient and makes the job go faster, but it's ridiculously expensive. On my dirt bike, I needed to reinstall a puller fan, so I used these to keep the fan housing flush with the radiator. I used two zip ties and two 1" roofing nail cups instead, threading one tie through the cup, the housing, and the radiator fin. On the other side of the rad', I threaded through another cup, clipped, and cinched everything up tight with just the head of the second tie. For the cost of four of these, I can make a hundred homemade mounts. Lol - Kindly notify me.
Both were purchased, and I compared them. In comparison to the Hayden 210, I give this product four stars. They're both of comparable quality and appear to work well. The disc's size and the end of the plastic rod were the deciding factors. Both come with foam pads (the Derale's were firmer than the Hayden's, but it doesn't seem to matter because they were the same size), but the size of the pads is determined by the size of the disc or rod contacting it. Because the Hayden contact area was larger on both ends, it provided more support for the foam, which in turn made contact with the radiator. Even though the Hayden has two flat spots on the rod end, they are still larger. Price is in Hayden's favor, by a factor of four. 22 vs. As I previously stated, I required more than four of these, so I used two of the Derales, but will only use the Hayden next time. br>br>.
I put these in place and tightened them up as much as I could. The zip tie came undone when I cut off the protruding rod, and I was unable to reattach it. Three of the four rods were affected. I would not purchase these items again.
On a brand new Toyota 4Runner radiator, this part was used. Original Haden ties, which came with the trans cooler, had to be cut. These gripped incredibly well, and I don't think they'll ever come loose. To slide down these, you'll have to put in a lot more effort. The only way to find out is to wait. Only because the radiator was 20 years old was it replaced. Being safe is preferable to being sorry.
The next day after receiving it, I installed it on my Aluminum Radiator. My slim fan's old worn-out rod mounts were replaced, and it worked as expected. When the fan turns on, there are no vibrations, so I can only conclude that it works. If I require another set, I will return.
I was hesitant to order because many reviews indicated that similar products did not hold up well, but I was pleasantly surprised to discover that these did. I needed to put a fan on a test engine stand I built to test and break in engines before selling them to customers, and the radiator I was using wasn't brand new. I had trouble pushing the plastic rods through at first because they encountered a lot of resistance, but I discovered that pushing a small metal rod through first made the installation go much more smoothly. DAD'S ROD SHOP is a place where you can go to get your rods.
High-quality work. These plastic rods were used to install a Spal fan. I've been holding for about a month and haven't had any issues. Threading the coil and radiator together is a breeze. Simply roll the posts back and forth with a gentle touch to facilitate passage. It'll find a way to get to where it wants to go - If you press too hard, the coil/radiator will be damaged. This book comes highly recommended. Excellent craftsmanship. Although not of the highest quality, it is a good value.
