Not Ranked
Like *13*, I thought about not running a front plate, but here in CA it is a $170+ fine! I made my mount go over the opening and it mounts just inside. Foam between the body and bracket. This way I can remove it quickly and not have holes in the body.
If you want to avoid the embarrassing roadside over heat, nix the pusher fans, and get a huge cfm straight blade puller fan behind the radiator. I had the pushers, worthless. Removed them. Put in the puller on an auto sensor. It may sound like a B-29 on take off, but it gets the job done.
May use the fan set for wall art. Plus several guys have lost a blade or two off the fans. Too risky for too little gain.
I also made a bug screen for the radiator. Lots of bugs here. Just an ordinary window screen held on with Velcro.
Congrats on being road worthy!
Tried to upload fotos but am failing for some reason
