LOL you do the math.If you cant figure out how to fit it without major problems... pay someone $50 who cangeez... even refitting stock crossover etc requires some bending and pushing LOL... it doesnt just slide in like a cock into a wet woman.it works and is EASY to fit!!!!

With regards to bending the brackets its nothing major and a lot of the bending is done when you tighten it all up. What do you expect for a cooler at that price, hell you could pay more for another item, have to grind away at parts of your car and leave the splash guard off Its base selling point is as a drop in replacement....if there was a 'drop in' replacement at a couple of hundred more and I was aware this stuffing around was necessary, I'd have happily paid it. But I never got the impression this one wasnt. That said its in, and Im sure it'll do what its designed to do....As a cooler specifically designed for the application I dont quite get why the brackets need bending...Im happy to be wrong and told I put the brackets on wrong....but I have seen a pic or anything even in the instructions that say whats right... I'll have another look anyway next week...hopefully I know the fitting of the bottom brackets before then to check my decisions and tell myself Im stoopid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didnt require parts to be bent to refit it.Im NOT complaining about the brackets in case you didnt notice....Im ASKING if I made a mistake and asking for guidance on how they align. If you can help with that Id appreciate it, that was my assumption. I DONT assume something advertised as a drop in isnt what its advertised to be...

Drop in no cutting, only drilled one hole and enlarged two others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
