Got the piece from BEGI a little while ago, beautiful workmanship. Tig welded ****, most certianly worth the $80. However ...
The only problem is I can't get it to fit. Anyone have any tips? I've bent the heater hose pipe back towards the firewall as far as I (comfortably) can and I still have issues. The heater pipe is in the way and I can't line up the back mounting tab with the hole on the firewall shelf.
If anyone has any experience with this part let me know, I'm open to any suggestion.

I cut a 2"X1" notch in the back over the water lines where they drop behind the DP. The aluminum cuts like butter. I also used a 1.5" rubber spacer underneath the back bolt. Fits great now.
