KC Install Help
Ok, I cannot be the only one who's had this issue (at least, I hope I'm not). I am either experiencing a brain fart or I am just not as smart as I think I am. I have done a lot of work & mods on the car myself & I am know my way around a wrench. Anyway, I cannot find a suitable place to mount the KC. I have the Sunveer E63 front bumper conversion & my car has the 2 trans coolers in front of the radiator. With the hood pin brace in place, there is not enough room between it & the trans coolers for the KC. There is also not enough room beneath the bumper support to mount it upside down & no room below either headlight.
I have the VRP secondary HE installed where the hood pin brace goes (see pics). I know I will have to take it out if that is where I put the KC. Is there some other type of hood pin brace that I can use. Please help. Any advice appreciated.

With the secondary HE removed, I have to reinstall the hood pin brace & its shape makes the gap between it & the trans coolers too small. As far as both HEs, I am installing a 3 way valve to bypass them when using the KC &/or bypass the KC when not using the AC (winter). I have looked at this from all angles & am so frustrated. I know there must be a place/way to install the KC. Thanks for the input.

I see from your signature that you have coilovers. The old airmatic pump location is perfect for mounting the KC. That's where I put mine:
You may need to remove the SAI pump as well for this to work.
