Thanks hg_notes. Maybe I was so tired tonight I was that far off in placing the top brackets? But if I remember correctly, if the top brackets went over the seams, there's no way the brackets would bolt down to the support. They'd sit too tall. And that might go back to having the wrong pads for the top brackets because the height of the new rad is the same as the one I had. I think I have the originals still in the trunk of my car.

The connectors are actually baffles (all aluminum construct, made?/sold by Summit). They are great for being able to swap accessories out whenever to whatever, but their sole purpose is to prevent oil from splashing up into the breather/pcv. Something I found at the last minute and I'm glad I did. I think they are better than just having a grommet in a hole. Especially true for custom drilled holes.
