[DML] Radiator mounting differences in 83 models?

["Scott McMullan" <mcmullas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm having my original radiator and fans replaced with the 3-core radiator
and quiet fans from John Hervey (can't wait to NOT hear my fans!).

The shop that's doing the work for me has encountered some difficulty
getting the new assembly to mount properly.  It was my understanding that
this assembly should be a drop-in replacement for an original radiator and
fans, but clearly it's not this time. I have contacted John Hervey about the
matter to see what input he has, but I also wanted to ask the list if anyone
out there has seen differences in the radiator mounting in different model
year or market cars.  My car is a Canadian '83 model, so it's possible that
there is some little-known manufacturing difference that someone is aware
of.

It's also possible that there's something custom going on under there; I
know I have a very unusual grille in front of my car
(http://www.sixgeeks.org/~scott/DeLorean/falltour4/100_0441.JPG) ... which
I'd like to replace with something more standard sometime, but not until I
see either a great deal on one or I'm done working on more important things.

As this problem is very new and my car isn't in my driveway, I don't have
any pictures to share of just what it looks like under there.

And while we're on the topic, if anyone out there needs an original radiator
/ fan set, contact me off-list.  I would love to keep the parts off the
scrap heap.

Thanks!
