THIS is WTF I'm talking about:

Ah, ****, Kevin... I got totally wrapped around fabbing my V-mount that I COMPLETELY forgot about those pics.

My bad, man.

You gonna come around tomorrow (later today)? I'll try to take more pic of them, then - otherwise, I DO have pics, while they were on the car. Those should suffice; it's not like I DROVE the damned thing, since I took the pics....

I am NOT filled with coffee 'till 2am.. I made a pot at about 0330 this morning I WAS there until 5, though :P

Eddie, I'll be heading over there in about an hour-ish? Mebbe around 1300, or so.

@FC3S_Nataku: If I can knock out this heart transplant, soon, then maybe. I need to acquire another one, anyway...

Eddie, you SHOULDN'T have one :P

Okay...

So I was doing some measuring, mocking and fabbing lastnight (okay, this morning, whatever) and here's what I came up with....

Which one should I go with?

OEM Rad location:




Or a flat-mount with the rad at more of an angle (twin fans, pulling down)?






I know, I know - I'm going to have to source another hood, for proper ventilation.


Pics from the last couple of days can be found Here and Here (you know you wanna look!)
