Cheers chaps ;) Just had a quick measure up from one side it's 280 mm and from the other it's 310. So quite a fair amount out. Hmmmm...... Just thinking what the best way will be to move it. :er:

Get some 5mm+ plate and make a couple of spacers for the drivers side

Cheers matey ;) Right then that's the next thing on the list to do. I'll have to sort out the passenger side mounts as they will need adapting now.

It's only 15mm off centre, that's not going to sort the fan out :er: :er: .

Been and had a look at mine.
The brackets are on the wrong way around, they should face forward, not towards engine.
Pics to follow..


Not the best photo's , but should do.

Now I feel like a right plonker :lol: Cheers Darrell ;) Oh regarding the offset of the engine, with it being 25mm too far to the drivers side, will that matter much ? Might sound stupid.
