I did add a 1" X 1" strip on each corner just to make sure no rubbing occurred
I'm getting plenty of air from the sides and top so My temps. haven't changed. Living in New Orleans it gets very hot, today it's 97 F 100% humidity YUCK!!!
I am noticing the fan running maybe 15% more in traffic but it will cool down sufficiently enough cycle on and off. I just had major modifications done and haven't seen much of a difference with additional temps.
I might modify my stock Stat (search on the forum) you drill 4 small holes providing circulation before the stat opens. One last question... What size hoses are you using and how did you isolate the systems.
Cheers and good luck

yes i used foam on the sides and at the bottom were the h/e meets the frame. unfortunately the slk32 wont allow enough room to use the oem h/e mounts that dj made the tabs for. there just isnt enough room. so i removed them and went the tie wrap route ala woody. there is space between the h/e and the oem radiator but its very tight.
im using the factory hoses. under the resovoir is a hose that goes to the T on the return s/c line. i used rubber female plugs and plugged that line and the overflow line at the y on the s/c. i simply cut the factory hoses to fit the inlet and return lines, running the inlet under the headlight housing to the h/e.
ill do a search for the tstat mod. my temps arent critical but maybe 10 degrees hotter than oem setup. but the s/c runs tons cooler!
