Fan Mounting

Can't believe I am asking about cooling with temps below freezing outside but I want fit an electric fan.
Two straps across the radiator shell seems easiest but I am sure I have seen a bracket from the mag drive casting somewhere.
I have a Revotec fan ready.

vintagebentley.com supply a kit including a bracket that fits to the turret, but I think they want you to buy a fan as well.

Not the best of photos, a “U” shaped bracket from the turret and two supporting struts from the water pump(?).

Mine is bolted to the top of each mag flange and incorporates a rain deflector plate in front of the magnetos.

Most of the 3litre Bentleys supplied to Australia had a fan fitted as part of the 'Colonial speed model'
This had a neat metal bracket with a pedestal and a modified fan to fit the radiator.
The later 41/2 skew gear housing had a bracket cast in.
I modified this mount to fit an electric fan - but my CAD skills are not up to making a period looking fan with3D printing.
