Nath its fairly easy il get you the guide..
so easy I changed it again.. this time not as tall nor wide,, but thicker and I can hand on heart say it pulls soo much harder!!
2 new hoses from forge 90 reducers due to the inlet and outlet on my new cooler being bigger
started to line it up see how well it fitted.. (started getting dark, so the string is there to keep it in place ready for mounting..)
the following day im up searching for 2 jubilee clips, nowhere in town had them so i had to use one from my engine bay until im able to get one later on..
