    So, while I had the headlight vent out for detailing, I was made aware that the fan below the headlight is sitting in the well. The mounts are broken. Anyone ever fixes that? Any advice and procedures order for repair? Thank guys... I hope you’re well.

    Chris... by any chance did you make a 1:1 scale template or drawing of the bracket you made? If you did can you pass it long? Thx

    No. If you look at my original bracket, it's pretty crude: just a rectangle with an arc. Several people made nicer looking ones further down the thread. You can't see the bracket when you're done, so not much reason in my opinion to make it pretty, but you know us Ferrari owners...

    So, what were the dismantling steps you did? Vent screws off then headlight assembly out by removing the ___?__________, then easy access to fan blower motor...?

    I'm not sure you can do it without removing the lower front spoiler. That's the approach I took anyway.

    You had to go in from under? Is that correct? Just remove the air dam? I have the deep one. Then what next? Any seasoned guys who can chime in with the steps they took? I like to have the steps outlined if I can. Thanks.

    I took the spare tire tub out. That gives you access to steering rack, blowers, radiator, battery, etc.

    Well... be aware taking the spoiler off is easier, and taking the spare tire tub is more difficult/time consuming (yet offers a lot of very great access.)
