I've got the fresh air box and fan all cleaned up, painted and ready to install. I cannot get the bolt in the driver's side cowl bracket. I just can't get the box in a position that will allow for the threaded insert in the box to line up with the hole in bracket. With enough persuasion I was able to get the passenger side bolt started but no go on the driver's side so far. Any suggestions?
I seem to be having some interference between the wiper motor and the pad on the back side of the air box fan. It looks to me that the pad is there to keep the wiper motor and fan housing from rattling. Should the fan housing pad make contact with the wiper motor creating a snug fit? Attached image(s) |

Wooo Hoooo!!!!!!
I got the air box installed. Even small victories feel good!!! Paying attention to the gasket and making sure that it was in the proper place around the cowl louvers was definately helpful. I was pushing and twisting with a significant amount of force and still just couldn't get it to line up so that I could get the drivers side bolt started. And then I pushed on the bracket to move it closer to the air box -WHAT A GREAT SITE I SAW THEN!!! The holes lined right up! The bracket must have been slightly "winged" out just enough to prevent the proper alignment. Sooooo, If your installing the air box make sure that the brackets under the cowl are not bent outward. It sure wasn't much that I moved mine, but it was that last little bit of movement that I needed. Attached image(s) |
