Looking at the image it appears as though the whole assembly hangs from the top engine cover !

Blimey

Rich,There is a bolt in each lower corner that go into the lower engine cover rails. (see where the slots are for the rails)
The bottom of the fan circle piece sits on the shoulder of the bit under the engine bed rail forward bits. The radiator top mount (tongue) goes through the slot at the top. I can give you measurements, but not until next week. I am busy till then.

The four bolts that go down from the top go into captive nuts (bits of steel welded on) One half over laps the other at the centre. the felt is held on with bif. rivets. The felt goes over the top pipes and under the top mount slot.

I remember restoring my carrier years ago and when it was all finished I then came across those shroud pieces and looked at the work involved to try and fit them in there. I decided to leave them out as I wasn't up to the challenge of trying to disasemble everything again to get it installed. Then for it's first parade the radiator decided to blow up on me! (Radiator was plugged causing poor circulation!).Must have been a sign as I had to tow the carrier home and take everything apart again to change the radiator.Made sure the shrouds went in that time!
Regards,Derk
