Altima fans fitment question: w/ PICS

[NemeGuero]

So I trimmed both bottom corners of the fans to allow them to sit between the frame rails as per Orion's pretty picture:




and NOW. Neither of the bottom pins are lined up. The one nearest the passenger side is about 1/2" away. But as you can see in the first pic, the fans are already up against the battery tray. The driver side pin is almost an inch away from the hole.

So I figure my options are:

1. Fuck it, who cares about the mounting pins, just use some radiator zipties and call it a fucking day.

2. Remove the battery box and shift those bitches over that 1/2" it needs.

If I go with option 2 I think I can get BOTH top screw holes to line up..

Here you can see how far off they are.


So what you think?
