Does anyone know the correct mounting hardware for the 2 electric AC condenser fans of a 98 D1 ? Mine are held on by zip ties and I would like to mount them more securely and not bang against the condenser. Before you ask, this is something apparently the previous owner did.

 

page 771-772 of the workshop manual (which can be found in my signature)

 

When I replaced the fans this spring a couple of the screws broke off (quite rusty). Figured three out of four per fan ain't too bad. So you might want to look to see if the screws are broken off.

 

aftermarket fans are usually attached with the zip ties that go thru rad with pads to hold them securely and if done right won't rattle,original had the "x" crossbar type attachment [if yours is still there] if not just get a new set of tie attachments to install properly

 

Ok, so I have the stock setup (fans and radiator/condenser). Appreciated the Rave page reference but I am good with where and how the fans mount. I am looking to understand what hardware is needed (nuts/bolts/clips etc.) as the previous owner just put zip ties through the bolt holes to hold it together and the fans move and on occasion bumps up against the condenser and bending fins.

 

IIRC the screw heads are 8mm hex w/ phillips slots. Can't remember thread pitch /style. They screw into either speed nuts or speed clips.

Like I said earlier a couple of the screw heads broke off but there was enough of them sticking out that they acted like little dowel pins.

Took these pictures yesterday afternoon. Quality ain't that great but HIH.
