Re: Electric Fan Issues - space?

Here is the pic. Only about 2 inches of space. Need about 3 1/4 for fan to work. Going to have to figure out some fab work for sure.

Re: Electric Fan Issues - space?

Well here is yet my other issue. Mounting air condition compressor with the LS brackets supplied with unit. Would not fit in stock holes as it hit the inner fender. Made new holes and now as you can see it is next to impossible to install oil cap. Only have about an inch of space now between inner fender and compressor. Now what to do? Just one more fun thing when doing a custom truck. Oh boy.

Re: Electric Fan Issues - space?

check tire/wheel clearances at full suspension retraction and steering wheel turned I all that way. if you have sufficient clearances you could cut into the inner fender and make room for the compressor or mount it lower possibly?
