I don't have enough clearance between the shock mount and the fan. If you jack the car up, the bolts hit the fan. You can see the radiator is all the way out on the brackets. How are y'all addressing this issue?

Loosen the bracket to grill bolts and tilt the grill more upright. I had the opposite problem. The replica parts shroud hit the LCA mounts and I had to tilt it back more.

If I tilt it upright, the bottom of the fan shroud hits the LCA mounts

Looks like you have spacers between the radiator mounting tabs and the mounting tabs on the grill shell. I am assuming the two lines coming out between the two are for an AC condenser.

I don't have AC and the fan is no where near touching anything with no spacers. Anyway you can adjust the condenser so you don't need the spacers?

No, That's the way it has to be for the A/C condenser.

The nut should be on the side facing the fan. I cut the nut almost in 1/2 so it wouldn’t touch the fan when it’s jacked up.

When it's on the ground it's not an issue.

The 1/4" gives me the peace of mind for when I'm doing my stunt jumps

My car is 007 so I might have been the first to address this.
Yes, the bolt heads should be on the "engine" side so you can extract them w/o any fuss in the future.
Best wishes,
Tom
