Then 3 hrs after I started, an hr of which I was sitting there looking at it, bumfuked, I found the pics with the invoice. ARGH!!Unfortunately I didn't take pics of the process. I'll try and explain it best as I can, using the pics supplied (see attached).Only the drivers side of the crossmember needs to be ground (grinded?). You'll see the mounting hole that the original brackets mount to (looking down from above), about a quarter inch to the inside (right) of that hole, I ground roughly 2.5 inches long, and a quater inch deep. Then my grinder died... I was going to grind deeper, but as it happpens what I had done was perfect.The brackets supplied use the mounting holes that the original brackets used. I ended up drilling new mounting holes about 1 inch further to the right as you look at it (passenger side).All the holes I drilled I marked in red, in the pic.The top right bracket, picture 1, I mounted in my hole as indicated. Then aligned the cooler, and worked out where the other brackets would have to go. Picture 2, I drilled a new hole in the bracket to suit the new mounting point I made, to keep the cooler off the crossmember, and radiator.Picture 4 shows the drivers side. I reversed the bracket to how it is shown in the pic and mounted it where the red mark shows. I had to bend the bracket to suit the new angle. The blue indicates, very roughly, the new mount/angle of the bracket.I didn't use the 4th mount bracket. With the 3 brackets, it is VERY sturdy, and does not move at all. It has absolutley no play. I move the intercooler, the car moves. Good enough for me.I hope all that makes sense, and is of use to someone. Once I found the picture's supplied, it was a reasonably easy process.Goodluck with it.

To fit it easier of to get it central. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/20666-ase-intercooler-arrived/page/3/#findComment-305689 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also had to very carefully bend the lower air-con condenser fitting towards the passengers headlight, but it didn't look like it was in the right position to start with. I replaced the spring clamp on the lower cooler hose with a real one and relocated the horn under the drivers side headlight. I'm not sure where ASE put the horn (I didn't have instructions) but it seemed like as good a spot as any. I just had to make an extension wire."
