So I got the kit from Cobra Restorers - how did you mount yours in a SPF? I see lots of fiberglass shroud around and in front of radiator.

Be extra careful before drilling thru the shrouds. The radiator lives back there. I remember a story about someone wanting to mount a protective screen in front of the radiator and drilling a hole in it. He JB welded a penny to the radiator to plug the hole. How do you plan to power the two pusher fans?

I have mine connected to a switch on the dash . It is run through a relay between the fans and the switch

How did you mount your fans in your SPF? I have the Cobra Restorers kit and it seems fine, but it's just a bar and a couple of brackets. What modifications did you do to Cobra to mount it? Any pics?

Here is the thread of the complete install I did last year. Hope it helps.

Would also like to see how front hoop bumper connects to overriders, do they mount to the sides of the overriders or behind them? (since you have the camera out)

Thanks in advance.
