VBP spreader bar modification question
I've got the pre-welded spreader-bar and have (finally) got my blower installed. I found that if I mount the bar to the "front" tabs, I clear the blower belt and still have room for the radiator (although I'm going to have to go to a pusher type fan set-up in front of the radiator).
My question is: what is the distance between the two tabs on the mounting brackets? 2" ? I'm away from home for a bit, and would like to build a couple of spacers to fill the gap.
Thank you!

The bar doesn't mount to one set of tabs or the other, it mounts between them, otherwise it could flex. Check out my pic:
I imagine this setup would clear a blower drive and I still have plenty of room for dual Spal puller fans and my BeCool radiator.
