   Hello Paul-

   So I have the diffuser attached to the radiator, and the rear end of the
   assembly attached to the frame.  I'm pondering exactly how to mount the
   front of the radiator to the SBeam.  I figure I have 3 options:

   1) Fabricate a fiberglass flange & connect the top of the air intake to
   the front of the SBeam (probably just tap some bolt holes into Tracy's
   mounting plate & bolt to it).

   2) Take two aluminum angles (like what is pictured sitting on top of
   the
   air intake) and connect them to the sides of the air box going to the
   front of the sbeam.  in this case, the angle would be outside of Tracy's
   plate & thus they would get bolted directly into the front side of the
   sbeam.

   3) Fabricate a fiberglass U-channel that would connect from the top of
   the air intake to the bottom of the sbeam.  (the U is lying on it's side
   in this case).  The only reason for this option is if bolting into the
   bottom of the SBeam is more advantageous than going into the front of
   the beam.

   Thoughts?

   Looks great Mark. Nice work. Can you move it forward and up an inch
   or two?


Paul-

I can't really move it forward any -- it needs to be there in order for
the coolant lines to align with the radiator inlet & outlet.  The bungee
is not holding the front up as high as it could - it can easily move up
an inch or so.

OK. I could not tell by looking at the pictures.
