Nothing I can do. It did happen I will show that in the video coming up but oh well. I rigged it with some wire and its solid. Life goes on.

One of mine broke too. The passenger side bottom one. Do any one know what the two large bolts that came with ie intercooler are for?

I broke the same tab. Was quite sad but that's what I get for trying to pry it open a little bit to fit the condenser slot. The other three fit fine, and using he set screws still feels pretty secure.

Was that for just lining it up? I just pushed everything up and secured it.

Sounds like it. I barely screwed the Allen in and it broke

The one that broke on me was the one that holds the condenser coil. The one with the little Allen screws to hold it down

Sorry you all had this happen!! If it's any consolation, I busted my yellow brackets - lack of finesse on my part or hardened due to excessive heat where I'm at.

So just to say this. IE is amazing its been in the mid 90s here and the IC great. With A/C on max and doing pulls it reduces the temp every pull and keeps it within 20 of ambient. Without the A/C on 10 over ambient. Love it.
