Setting up a dangerden heatercore

OK, I went ahead and got a heatercore + shroud from dangerden. I know, I know, it would have been cheaper to go to autozone for the heatercore and make my own shroud. I've had lots of little problems getting my WC setup off the ground up to this point, so I decided to go the easiest route.

Well, it's not easy at all. How in the bloody hell does the shroud mount to the heatercore? There aren't any holes in the heatercore for the plastic bolts to slide through. It seems easy enough to screw the fan to the shroud, but how does the shroud connect to the heatercore? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Yes, the bolts slide through the open fins in the heatercore and come out the other side. Then you bolt/nut/washer/whatever them down. Don't worry about putting something through the heatercore....Just be careful that you dont nic or put a hole in any of the water channels...

Well, they won't fit through the fins. That was of course my assumption, but none of them seem to fit.
 
Well of course you'll probably have to bend some of the fins a little bit... that is why you insert the plastic mounts carefully

Good deal. I had assumed as much, but I wanted to be sure before I started forcing them through.
 
I just kinda screwed the long plastic thingys through the heatercore until they reached the other side. Worked perfectly. No bending of fins involved :)
