Actually it wasn't that easy it took me some time to figure out a clean slip on fit that would carry on what is still Toyota into the metal shaped for my purposes.

After some heat and hammer forming my excess up flange section sort of fell into place to close and overlap the break.

Just about ready to cut the excess off and graft these two together. I'll be cutting that apron about even with the new flange section.

The remains of the old skirt flange run alot deeper but I will be shortening the aprons back here to help disipate heat.

Removing whats left of the original flange for a pattern. Through my ownership of this truck this area was zip wheeled and hastely wired welded back together then this last time cut with a plasma so gluing it back together wasn't an option.

Very slowly colasping the intermediate fins allowing this lower loop to roll back. Its alloy so mild spanks with a dead blow was all it took. Again care was taken not to breach or crush the capillary tubes themselves and as long as that didn't happen this unit will still work fine.

Better but still not enough clearance. That lower capillary loop had to go back.

Had the basic relief shape cut into the housing to make way for the new fire wall shape while still allowing it to mount in its original position with the heater core and blower motor. Now it was onto the core.
