    I have just finished replacing the early thicker CCI fan on my Walker radiator with the new thinner one. I do understand that the bracket is slightly wider than the 40 radiator, but not a big deal to me. I realize that they have three sizes to fit many sizes of radiators. By the way, the outer fins do not carry water, as long as you use small screws straight in, no problem. At least not for me on the five I have installed. I have this set up in my 46, 53 and 40. They work so darn well, the slight overlap of the brackets do not bother me a bit.

    I still have not done this yet with back to back weddings, but I hope to this sunday. Going in from the side there should be about a 1/2" before hitting a live tube. 1/4" fin, dead tube and another 1/4" fin so I plan to use a drill stop at just less than that and hope for the best I don't like that the fan bracket is wider than the radiator. sure I'll probably rarely notice or care once it's built, but I am planning on mounting it with aluminum angle all the way down so it will at least look flush
