[QUOTE="MalcolmV8, post: 15387545, member: 8854"] Hey Guys, Here's a few pics to try and aid how it was secured in there. OK look at the pic below. See the arrow pointing to the two bolts that come all the way through the radiator there with nuts on the end? (right side of pic). Well the shroud grabs over those on both the top and bottom of the radiator on the driver's side. I circled the location in red. Also notice the two zip ties. I drilled a small hole in the shroud and radiator. One of the holes/slots already existed in the radiator and I only needed to drill the second one. Honestly the radiator was in so snug I didn't even need these zip ties. They were just for piece of mind.
