I know you know what you're looking for, but I can't tell from your picture whether or not the angle iron frame member is there. There should be two visible bolts, one (inner) of which is under the fan shrouding and the other (outer) is inline with the twin vertical angle brackets. On your pic this outer bolt is obscured by the vertical brackets.

Here's what it looked like under my radiator before I installed a new core; two bolts through the fan bracket one through the radiator lower rail:

David,
Using a mirror I did find that bracket. Really hard to see otherwise.

I also found out that the motor is mounted down as far as the slots would allow. I have to conclude that since the main frame is angled upward due to its shape (or mis-shape), and since the motor is mounted to the lower limit, Blue Bird knew about it and let this go in production; it must have been that way ever since. I will therefore stop worrying about it and take care of it when the CAC and rad have to be removed eventually. Now, if I start finding pieces of plastic fan blade, well... my conclusion was an assumption.

Thanks for the info. We keep learning.
