01/14/2018
I just purchased a a Fram (Flat 4) filter for my Okrasa engine.
What would be the best way to hang the bracket? Drill and bolt from inside the fan housing I am assuming. plastic lined lock nuts or lock-tite on threads?
Thanks

I had nuts welded to a sheet metal plate then spot welded to the inside of the fan housing

Consider using longer bolts and go through the whole fan shroud. This way you aren't relying on just the front sheet metal of the shroud but both front and back. The bolts would have to be about 2 inches long...guessing without a shroud in front of me. _________________ I'm Martin

Hey Hutton- who did you order the kit through? The flat four site won't direct me to a price list. _________________ John
