I've recently received an air guide and radiator shroud through the generosity of Steve Allen (thanks!!), but I've got a simple question about mounting the air guide.... Which way exactly does it go on? Anyone got a photo? I haven't really tried it yet as the radiator is out of the car at the moment, but just for my peace of mind some advice would be much appreciated! Thanks.

There are mounting points on the front frame crossmember and on the radiator. Quite often the radiator mounts fall off as they were only soldered to the lower tank. This is where it gets fun. Nissan changed the design with the 67.5 and later cars. Here is a link that explains it:

Hope that helps!

Glad to hear you received the parts. The air guide mounts to the bottom of the raidiator and the crosss member as Sid stated. Here is another picture of the shroud and the air guide.


The air guide was a bit bent up but you should be able to straigthen it out pretty easily.

Perfect, thanks guys. Steve, I did the panel beating and the guide has come up great!

Cool! Sounds like you are in business then.

Further to the cooling saga.... I junked my thermofan for a conventional fan I bought from the wreckers for 20 bucks. It's about a 1/2 inch bigger in diameter than the shroud Steve sent so I haven't installed the shroud - but the car's running about 30 degrees cooler now. Now onto the distributor....

anyone know what the bolt size is for the air guide to cross member?

Anyone know how this heat shield fits on a 1600 ?
