I will be sure to get some decent pics up, the mounting points are front floor roughly inline with edge of dash, back of rear footwells and third of way down boot floor. Will report back at end of week with plenty of snaps

Removing the air con stuff... does that trigger any issues with computer/BSI systems?

As it will get rid of a radiator too, so space for a pulling fan. Who needs an aircon in a convertible anyways?
Will consider this as an opportunity too. Thank you Edward.
Edit: And thank you Pez! Seems like a nice next step to tidy stuff up and increase my mpg

Keep the standard fan. It won't leave room for a different fan.
