Aftermarket Top Rad Hold down
I'm going from mechanical fan to electric fans with a shroud. Looking for a supplier that sells a top plate that holds down the rad. I've seen them before somewhere.

Something like this should work. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/s...2b?seid=srese1
Are you going with fans like this with the shroud? I find they work really good as they have the rubber flaps that also allow air to flow through the radiator at high speeds. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/t...06?seid=srese1

Are you doing the electric water pump at the same time?

I was going to ..but looked at the cost of a pump and a new belt setup..too pricey for now. Maybe if I start racing more.

Something similar to that Summit part but would like four holes in the factory location.

Find a busted shroud and trim to taste.

That will get going until I buy or make something.

Only reason it says that is due to the dual fan shroud but can easily adapt with a little effort.
Take a look at this pic and others on the listing and it will be more clear. .

You can use a piece of sheet aluminum, doesn't have to be very thick, so can be easy to bend. You can bend a 90 degree on the edge in a metal door jam. If you have access to a brake, you can bend it nicer/easier.
You can trim the edge towards the engine leaving just a slight lip and finish it with a piece of vacuum hose cut lengthwise. In the GTO, I used 66-67 lower rad brackets, and bolted them to the core for the lower brackets. Then used the OE rubber mounts. For the top to mount the fans, I used riv-nuts in the top brace of the radiator and made some temporary plates to hold the fans in place. I will go back and do a top plate to finish it off, it's on the punch list I still have to finish that car. It's a champion radiator with Derale dual fans/shroud. I have the same fans/shroud setup for my bird, will post on my build thread when I do that car, it's almost done at paint jail. Aside from the offering I posted, I have not found any that are 'produced', but many have fab shops make them or make them on their' own. If you're waiting for one to be a perfect fit drop-in, don't hold your breath. .

Just pointing out what it says... if it can be modified, great. Otherwise it says only fits CC.
