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?
