Dewitts Instructions
I'm about to install my Dewitts radiator and can't find the instructions, can anyone post them? I have the spacer plates and foam seal strips but no pre-cut rubber mounts. Any help is appreciated

I couldnt find the instructions on Dewitts website, they just had them for the C5 but they don't show where to place the spacers and foam strips. I'd rather not cut anything if I can get away with it, that's why I was wondering where to place the spacers and foam if needed.

He modified the installation so it does not require trimming the shroud. He furnishes a kit with spacers and foam strips. He promised to post a PDF of the new instructions but I never saw it. I have looked on the site several times.

You're right and I still haven't done it yet. Basically you still have to cut the rubber cushion to allow for the thicker core, but that's it. We include fan spacer bars at no charge and these simply sandwich between the fans and the fan shroud. Longer bolts are provided. This kit is sold by the competition for $75. We also include foam seals to attached to the upper and lower channels to prevent air going around the core.

Those seals are worth it.
Something else worth looking into is plugging all the holes in the radiator shroud that stops you from pulling the hot air under the hood in front of the radiator -- especially the hole where the A/C condenser lines enter.
