Default Spal fans installation

I am about to buy the dual spal fan setup for my 78. My question is what else do I need besides the fans, relay, and sensor? Do they come with mounting brackets or do I need to fabricate my own? Do they come with a seal between the fans and radiator or do I need to fab my own?
Pictures would be a real help also

I searched the archives and could not find a specific answer

Thanks
Vic

They do not come with mounting brackets. If you have an aluminum radiator (flat top & bottom) be-cool sells brackets. Very pricey though at $120. Better off making your own.

They do not come with a seal to the radiator, and be-cool told me none is needed. Thought that was weird, but it cools just fine without it.

Here are scans of the BeCool mounting and wiring diagrams.



Mine just buts up to the core with some rubber bumpers (about 1/2" thick) in there.
