Hi - 87 560sl - driving this since Sep08 - 70k mi - no problems, love the car; can't imagine why everyone doesn't have one - noticed in Nov that the aux fans strut top center bolt was missing - In order to replace the missing bolt I'd need to press down on the radiator support (1/8" max) to align a new bolt w/ hole in the radiator spt - I'm tempted to leave it alone, but aside from the obvious answer "it was affixed by a bolt originally, you dolt", is there some nasty consequence I should expect if I skip this? Thx

Should be there....

In the summer when the fans run most of the time, I would think that there will be stress on the mount w/o the bolt.
