I have sold several of these each year.
I have never, until now, installed one. I wasn't pleased with what I had to do:
I began by first removing and inverting the 'cage' for the thermostat & welding it to the bracket. That turned out to be an unnecessary step.
So, I cut the cage off and installed the thermostat as shown. This will prevent you from using the second piece of tin that normally fits beneath the thermostat, as it was designed.

We have to fabricate our own 'flap control bar' because we only had one from an early fan shroud and ours is a doghouse style shroud.
