Radiator Problem

Right getting closer to firing this bad boy up (I think) but I've hit another snag. Just putting the radiator brackets on only to find that the fan is hitting the drivers side one
Any ideas as to why this is or am I missing something obvious ? Many thanks, Eddie

Hopefully these will help
Have I got the engine too far to the drivers side ?

Yeah the engine is too far over... on the passenger side engine mount, the metal spacer like this -

Should be bolted directly to the engine mount plate on the chassis... Looks like you have 3 of them in there????

I was following this guide. I should mention it's a 410

Actually having another look at it I think I may have the spreader plate upside down on the passenger side thus lifting the engine more central, I think if I were to flip up upside down it will lower it solving the problem. Maybe that's wishful thinking
Sorry pal try this one

Couldn't really tell without looking at mine but the drivers side engine mount looks quite small... possibly need a (flat) spacer in there to move the engine over a bit
I guessed it was a 410 with different engine mounts by the way the engine is SO far over to one side yet still level!

Cheers matey
As you can guess this is my first time doing anything like this so a few errors have been made along the way
Hopefully won't take too much to correct it
