    Default Radiator Fan Mounting Hardware

    Hopefully not a silly question but does anybody know the size/type of hardware used to mount the electric radiator fans on 2.3l cars, or where I can find them?
    I pulled my radiator out yesterday to get ready to replace it and everything attached to it and reinstall a factory 2.3l radiator fan in place of the aftermarket one it came with and I have nothing to mount it to and can't find a pic or description of what hardware bolts it on. There isn't anything left on the radiator from it I believe this one was a replacement one in the past.
    I could use literally anything but I'm trying to put it back to original, so to speak, so I'd like to mount it like it would've been with the parts it would've been.

    Let me see if I can get some photos.

    The Ford MPC shows the bolt as N602728-S2 or AB-311-F. The Standard Parts Catalog says its M6x1.0-20 Its a hex head bolt with a
    washer. I can't tell if its a fixed or floating washer. Kind of like a fender bolt but a smaller washer. I also see it used on 2005-2007 someplace.

    I have some pictures of the original hardware I can email you. It looks just like the bolt holding the grill bracket to the radiator support. Maybe a little shorter. 8 mm wrench fits the bolt head.

    Let me know if you can't find any of those oem bolts. I have some oem bolts that are extremely close (same thread, same head, same washer, but 2mm longer) to what KevinK says you need. I had to buy a quantity of them (that was the only way they were available) and I wouldn't mind parting with a few to help out a fellow four-eye'r.
