Got my Silla $115.00 Aluminum radiator
Quick question before I post pics. The adapters where the fan is supposed to screw into the radiator, it is not tapped. Is this normal for aluminum radiators?

BTW, that was a LG Vu C920. That phones camera is awesome. And this was 640X480!

No that's not normal, but I can see why they might have done that?

Seems pretty thin. Stock replacement?

Never heard of a Silla

I've never seen them with mounts at all for fans, either

The Koyo has fan bolt holes.

Why would they do that?
It does look thin, but the endtanks are larger than my Modine

What I am saying is the fan shroud fittings are not threaded.

The plastic end-tank radiator I bought wasn't threaded either. Those screws on the fans are made to seat into the end tank. Kinda like wood screws? I think thin aluminum is pliable enough to fit a screw in there.
