I just mounted mine on top of the cooling fans frame, need to use short screws tho so they don't catch on the fan blades.

Guys...can somebody do us a quick sketch.. we can 'knock' something up
we would supply as standard fitted on to the 500 cooler but this gives you a problem when fitting a turbo cooler- I guess fitting remotely to the slam panel is the best all round option?
