I used cable ties for mine, it has 4 mounting holes, one on each corner though - works perfectly with no vibration or anything.

yeh mine has mounting lugs but they are about an inch back from the rad so i will have to put some sort of spacer between rad and fan

Aye, make sure you put the ties over the strong parts of the rad not the thin fins - they will crush them and come loose. Basically, tie your ties vertically and not horizontally

Or use long thin bolts and washers through the radiator fins and dont tighten them up so they start to crush things. Thats how the air con fan is normally mounted.
My leccy fan is mounted to the slam panel strengthening frame so is completely independent from the rad.
