Alot of people just have the bottom of the fans sitting in the little tray where the radiator sits. They have random brackets about 6" long with a bolt in one of the holes on top of the fans, and mounted to a hole that was used to hold the fan shroud.

We sell a set of shackles at O'reilly that are basically two plates with holes in them and they work great for holding the fans against the radiator.

Mine were done exactly like the pics A Low Dime posted. Pretty simple. Also, the plastic lip on the fans slips under the radiator and holds it pretty good there.
