I don't have any pics sorry, but I have the 11\"x11\" Mesa, with a 12\" Spal fan in my 62. I mounted it above the trans, under the rear parcel area. It is off to the driver's side and I put some small spacers (about 1/2\") above it so the air could get in around it. It's a tight squeeze over the bowden tube, but it fits.

chris,

Is there anything between the ground and your cooler? How did you mount it? Im probably going to have to find a new place for mine when i install that drag bar i got off of you.
Thanks

its mounted to the torsion tube housing using some hose clamps I then made a bracket to attach to the tranny horns.

Craig, when you come in today I'll show you a few in the cars here at the shop.

Mine is mounted directly to the parcel tray, directly above the transmission. I used spacers underneath the mounting surface to increase the gap between the cooler and the tray itself.
