After finding power steering fluid in my coolant TWICE now ive decided to go external on the cooling of the PS fluid... anybody know the best way to attach my new cooler to the front of my radiator? I was wondering if there are clips that can slide into the blades w/o messing them up or do I have to disassemble the fan behind the radiator to loop some sort of holding apparatus in place.

That power steering cooler design SUCKS!

You can prolly use the same style clips that some people use to hold aftermarket electric fans on. Not sure where you can pick them up though...

They look like this:

the pullstyle zip ties that came with my tranny cooler are what I used when I mounted it in my truck.

I heard they can rub against the lines in the radiator and cause leaks?
