Default lone star w/griffin radiator problem

working on the car a little for winter and noticed the radiator had the starting of a leak due to the use of plastic fan straps that run though the radiator. after taking it to a radiator shop in plano, they say it has been worked on before and might be a good idea to just replace. I would like to replace with a fan shroud model but the way it is mounted I dont see a way for a electric fan with shroud can be installed. my radiator is mounted using rivets and does not use any bolts to install. please include pics or company and model # of how yours is installed

I have an aluminum shroud with an electric fan and I have shrouds to close everything off at the front as well. I did have to play with the radiator mounts and adjust them to move the radiator to where everything would work.l couldn't remember how to paste a picture on this reply, but I added a few pictures of my setup to my "pictures" which you should be able to see.

thanks Tim I am going to start my search monday for a replacement hoping to find something that will basically slip in without too many problems really want to get rid of the plastic straps I knew it would cause problems but just wanted to enjoy the car more than having to work on it.
