I can't do pics at the moment, I am 1500 km away from the vehicle! I will try to remember when I get back to Adelaide.
There was a rubber seal from factory, but it didn't fill the gap after the body lift. The replacement is similar (pinches over a lip in the metal) but is deeper to fill the gap.
The heat issue is why I fitted thermo fans and did away with the viscous fan.
Regardless of where you are and what speed you are doing, the fans, particularly when idling, pump huge volumes of air thru the engine bay resulting in a big heat haze rising from under the car when stopped at lights.
Not to mention that in summer when the viscous spends most of its time locked up, is much more quiet and makes a big difference in engine load when accelerating!
The only thing to consider with Thermo Fans is the Alternator will struggle with Airccon,Thermo Fans, and a Flat Aux Battery in Summer. If you have no Aux Battery and Fridge, all will be well.
Yeah I've been working on doing the same thing.. except my vent is back further in the next panel (the windscreen bit).
