Default Need Help ASAP-Dewitt fan installation

I'm having problems. Trying to install the dual 11" Spal fans on my 75. I can't get them to fit. They are to wide to fit between my upper A-frames. The fans are 23 1/2" wide and I only have 23" between my upper A-frames. I know may C3'ers have these fans, what's the trick?

Mine fir between the A Arms with no problems... I had to move them a little to the left to make them fit, but they cleared without any problem. Was the front end of the car ever bent (i.e. bad accident?)?
:confused:

I stripped this car down to glass before the paint job. No damage, all orginial panels. I can not get the fans to fit, so i installed the shroud and orginial fan. At least I installed a new rad., I'm sure that will help.

Paul has called me and we discussed it. I can't fit out why it would fit his car, we have had no trouble before. This is pretty much the same thing Be-cool has been doing for years. Ecklers has the packages in the lastest catalog the same way. It's a mistery, but we're going to take them back. td
