Installed a CSF Radiator

Here's where my concern is, the bolt I'm just assuming is a hair too long, not the end of the world and will probably swap out. The second picture shows the fan shroud not sitting inside the radiator.

Thoughts? Also adding that all the hoses and other parts of the CSF radiator fit as expected so I don't believe this a bad install - I'm curious if it's a bad/wrong part number that was sent from CSF.

It fits terribly in general. Perhaps @Redslaya can chime in. I don't know if he trimmed his shroud or not, but I believe that is required to let it sit flush.

Either way you'll want to seal the whole thing with some aluminum HVAC ducting tape.

I assumed as much - was gonna take some stuff off and trim it up some. There's no contact with any moving parts but I feel it should be a touch closer to the radiator.
