You can mount it to either the front of the brace or the condenser using the plastic zip tie attaching things that should have came with it, and some strips of rubber under the brace. JMO

Its wider than the brace and to mount on.condenssor is hard. I have to first pull the front back (its pusged.back from an accident) out to mount behind the brace.

If mounted to the brace w/rubber strips as cushions and the 4 zip tie things through the condenser it's width doesn't matter and the attachments won't let it move. It doesn't need or have to fit against the condenser.

Just strips of thin rubber. They help stop vibration and sliding. You could even use pieces of thin hose split and wrapped around the brace.

Well. Ran into problem. The pastic that hold heaights in smashs into the.cooler. I found that the.stock one mounts behind the.A. So, im going to have to try and.pull my.front.member out back to.stock. Hopfully then the cooler can mount behind it.


For me to pull it foawrd.should I.use my com a long? I tried to pry but.can.move it like that.
