After you drill these 2 holes , fit the intercooler to the brackets and force it to the left and the brackets will flex across. Take the intercooler out and replace condensor and refit. Fitting it this way and forcing it across is the only way to ensure it fits and the holes line up at least with the bottom brackets, leaving only the 2 to drill. its a bit tricky but I have no pics sorry...

First take the horns off. Now the passenger side top and bottom brackets require holes to be drilled for it to line up. Drivers side brackets line up with a little bending here and there. Bolt the brackets up loosely, install the intercooler pipes (they will hold the cooler) then tighten up the drivers side and mark out where the passenger side holes need to be drilled, drill bolt and reinstall your front bar. On a side note do yourself a favour and relocate your horns to the FPV location (under the headlight on driver side) using the original braket, requires one hole to be drilled and wires to be extended but for the sake of getting dirt and water in your horns by having to turn them around to get it all to fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its why I have not relocated it yet, just bent it out so it is no longer resting on the intercooler pipe, still sounds like a fog horn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
