Did the same fix, very cost effective and so far dependable through the summer after 5,000 miles. If I recall, I used 50w registers slightly below 0.5ohm, and the original clamp could wrap it around just like factory install, after cutting off the mount ears.

Also added a toggle switch to manually turn on/ off the fan, so I got full control to keep the engine cool consistently in heavy traffic during summer, plus easy to diagnosis for bad fan/ register with a flip of the switch.
