Cable tied to the rad is fine, but the cable ties may go britle after a while.

The fan should be on the bumper side of the rad, blowing through to the exhaust side.

I think std rst fans hook onto the top of the rad and are bolted in place at the bottom. atleast on series 1's they are.

if it can be put on the turbo side of the fan, that is better.
