Rad goes up from underneath, I put the bobbins on the mountings first

but found the rad brackets difficult to get onto the bobbins.

so I removed the two bolts in the red circle and loosened the yellow ones and rotated the mounts downwards, now everything went in very nicely

Once in (but nothing tightened) its easy to see the standard bottom hose will not fit the SIFab arrangement (I was expecting this). So I carefully marked where to cut and shortened this hose by about 3 inches

Everything now fits without chaffing

Up at the top everything is very straightforward

with just a little wiring to reroute

view from the cowl end looks good

The rack is a bit fiddly to get back in but it goes back as it came out - albeit with new gators. The bolts and jubilee clips are all tightened and its currently holding water.

all in working time to install including ancillaries, about 3 hours

hope someone finds this useful
