Default HELP intercooler and rad mounting question saf now with pic

ok i carnt remember for love or money which holes are for the rad lol

ive got 3 holes in the chassis leg on each side now the first 2 nearest the slam panel are for my 500 intercooler

then the rad doesnt bolt up on the nxt 2 but only the 3rd but then i have a good gap, theres no engine in the car at the mo so carnt tell if it will be ok

im sure that my last one i had the intercooler and rad rite nxt to each other and no gaps

anyone help

heres a pic of what i mean



as you can see i have the moddle holes left and ive always though the rad goes in theer but it just wont fit at al by about and inch

so could i get away with this as it is

the rad doesnt move as its resting underneath the cooler when all done up

nothing wrong with th erad

i thought the intercooler goes as close to slam panel as poss but then th erad wouldt fi

in th end the intercooler should be in middle holes and th erad where it is

job done now

just thought it was alittle close but theres no engin ein there so had to do some measurements and its al sorted
