THese are the support brackets we made from aluminum available at my local hardware store. Be Cool wants $45 for their's. I spent $10 for the aluminum and mounting hardware.

I don't know if anyone will find this useful, but here it is. Works much better than those through straps that I used to hold that on at first. BTW, I lost my pics in my memory, I sent them to the wrong folder at first!!

I ordered the fans from www.carshopinc.com They are the dual 11" model that can pull 2780cfm of air. Let me tell you, this combo works.

I do not know for sure. Once I remember reading here that someone said it was around 2000 cfm, but... By using the old hand test it is pretty obvious that the Spals move more air than the stockers...

The main thing is the shroud on the Spal fans and any other fans that are shrouded are going to pull many more CFM than the stock fans. That's a nice setup.
