Default Z-51 Vararam

Does anyone with a 2008 z-51 manual transmission car have a Vararam CAI? I am in dire need of someone to take a picture of the oil cooler bracket fitment to determine if the constant contact between the bracket and oil cooler fins is normal. The oil cooler is being pushed back towards the radiator with 1/16th-1/8' max clearance which is concerning but not as much as the bracket touching the cooler. Please help!! Thanks

I have a '08 Z51 with Vararam. I don't have any pics but I do know I fab'd a bracket out of aluminum in order to make things work better. My oil cooler is now mounted better than how it was stock. I will try to get some pics later.

Awesome. Thanks. I am hoping others with the "vararam standard" bracket also reply with a pic or two.

Any chance you could get a pic would be great. I will have to fabricate my own bracket if no one else can tell/show me from a picture what is wrong. (I believe the Vararam bracket is wrong)
