Does anyone have any experience w/these? Can these hold up being in the engine bay for longterm like decades and beyond? Are they pretty strong?

Picture of what Im talking about... the pic I got this from, someone actually used these to mount a slim rad fan.

Here is a link to the thread explaining what Im gonna do with these

Used a piece of that to hold my honda rad in, didn't have any problems. Just as long as its thicker than can you should be fine.

Bingo.

The aluminum would have worked fine as long as it wasn't thin enough to suffer from fatigue.
