Install Tips on GC8 radiator shroud
I got a IMP black radiator shroud from allsubaru.com (yeah yeah I know but they were the cheepest I could find and my stock foam bit the dust literally) so after checking the install page on scoobymods here:
http://www.scoobymods.com/forums/sho...p?threadid=440
I go out to install it... take off the brackets and POW, doesn't fit! turns out the Iron Mountian Performance shroud (as opposed to the Primitive one used in the Scoobymod install) has the cutouts at the top for the tabs too narrow which means you must remove 2 of the 3 10mm bolts supporting the fans in order to properly fit the shroud. (the bolts are on the far side of the plastic tabe the cutouts are designed to go around..)
In addition the platsic tabs will have to bend a little to meet up around the shroud when reratached so it will probably be best add some washers to act as spacers so the plastic does not weaken and eventually crack.
Hope this helps anyone who is having or will have problems...
