The late model Carrera lower cooler bracket didn't fit quite right on the non IB inner fender so I had to make a mount....for the mount. I took this as an opportunity to spread the load on the inner fender out a bit. Note test fit of fan mount brackets.
The 8" SPAL fan is pretty big and the packaging is tight for the application, I had to trim back the rearmost bumper mount tab and verify clearance to the turn signal housing. It's all in there now.
I still have some details to sort out (extending the fan shroud to fit the early bumper so as not to let air by, seal install, etc. but the lines are in.
The hard lines along the rocker were pretty tweaked when they arrived (not surprised) but they weren't crushed and were easily bent to fit the body nice and tight. There's a lot of leeway in how things are assembled here so you really have to pay attention to the angles of everything - best to leave everything loose (including the clamps on the rocker panels!!) so it can all slide around a bit. I had to take it all apart and put it back together several times to get the main lines bent to fit the way I wanted.
Last few pics for now:
