Ken
Thanks for the information
So you would recomend replacing the stock shroud and getting a split one?
Just want to make sure before I drop down another $200.00
Thanks
Cameron


Someone, sometime, posted some pictures of modifying the original "horse collar" type fan shroud into a split shroud. I THOUGHT it was KenH. But just looked and did not see it in his MANY albums. But depending on how much you value your "life minutes" it might be a good idea just to buy one that is ready to bolt in.

The main thing is to ensure the area around the fan is where the shroud is the tightest. The more space around the tips of the fan the less efficient the fan will be. The "venturi ringed" horse collar might have been overkill and could be why the later coaches did not have them.
