New Dewitts fitment w/ dual fans
I sold my old full size dewitt and got a cutdown version w/dual fans for my F1C. I also bought a DP big mouth so I could quit running screen. This thing isnt fiting right at all. Did you all keep your rubber pieces on bottom of radiator? It seems to raise it up bout an inch. Could I get rid of the rubber pieces or do I need to keep them? I cant get the filter on at all. It's no even close. Also the condenser isn't fitting correctly in the tabs the radiator is to low for the condenser to slide in. The condenser is bottom out on the top of the air dam. Pics of this setup from bottom and top would be great.

I cut my rubber bushings in half so there it still some protection. The condenser needs to have the tabs cut down to about half an inch or so so it will sit flush with the top of he radiator. Do you have your cradle lowered? If not you will need to lower it about an inch with spacers or have the tabs on the cradle cut and re welded at a lower position.

You can cut it down, or you cut 1/2 the tabs off and dent in the top row. Just have to tweak it.
Also have to trim the fan shroud.

You cut the mounting tabs, not the condensor. I have seen the condensor cut, then it needs to be welded up. If you cut into the condensor core it will leak.

Post pictures of your issues.
I run a procharger bracket with an f1a and Dallas performance big mouth with the stock radiator and the procharger front cradle and it fits and has plenty of room above the condenser.

I got it on there however I had to beat the damn condenser pretty good. I hope A/c still works. Also my radiator is leanig foward alot more. Is this going to be an issue?

Did you trim the silicone coupler from the dp inlet to help the angle over the radiator/condenser?
Btw, pics really help with these type of 'it looks like ____, is that ok?' questions

It bottoms out on the tabs to mount so what are you talking about? I cut the tabs off the condensor, then when it was flush just used zip ties to mount it. The tabs sticking out the side of the condensor is what makes to stop going down. You can cut them in 1/2 so it goes down farther, or cut as much of them off to move the condensor down until it clears.

The bottom of condenser is bottomed out. The tabs aren't touching anything the condenser can only gonsonfar down before it hits air dam. It doesn't matter anymore I go it in there. Long story short the bottom of the condenser is hitting top of air dam and it sits to high. The tabs have about an inch before they touch anything.

Then you have an issue with the air damn or something. The tabs should bottom out. That is how it mounts. Sounds like you need to trim the air damn.
