I could be happier. My concern was metal fatigue. That is a very soft aluminum so, maybe less fatigue than a stiffer grade. My new concern is weaseling it into the car with slightly deformed ears. The fins are super thin. Breathing on them might cause bending. A bump would leave a mark. I am pleased the shell around the sides over hangs and is spaced away from the core. That will make it easier to attach the fans.

Soon I will try the tip I read on here of putting my hoses in boiling water before pushing them on larger inlets to get those 1 3/8 hoses to 1 1/2. Hope they hold the new larger size when cooled! Happy motoring
