cant see the pic dude

but im guessing here, does it sit towards the passenger side, and has a long bracket to mount it to the drivers side, leaving a bit of a big gap exposing the rad?

if s, its an early radtec item

defo an early radtec item, my mate had 1 many years ago on his rst, always thought it was weird that it left a gap down the 1 side, but it was apparently to aid cooling, giving a direct air feed to the rad for the part that the fan could not supply to

just add some spacers to the bolts in the brackets, think my mate had spacers about 15mm and it gave enough room to get a pair of slimline fans behind and on the rad, without havin to cut the bumper much at all, just a bit of a trim
