Yes, to clear the water outlet and the steering gearbox I had to taper it from top to bottom. The top depth is 1" and the bottom 1/2". I also undercut the sides to allow for an additional 1/4" so I was assured I would not be in the fins. That is where I am going to use a rubber edging to seal the sides to the radiator. Should make a nice air tight seal without damaging radiator. The slot I cut in the bottom are where the factory radiator supports are. They fit pretty tight when i place and I won't loose much air there either.

I just used standard sheet metal cutting shears/tools. Really all done with a big set of shears and an edge tool - all can be bought at Home depot - or you can borrow mine when I am done. Cut the hole for fan with a jig saw with a 32 tooth metal blade.

I hope to get the inlet out and starting to fit tonight. I hope to be done by this weekend and test it.

Keep you posted.
