     Food for thought while you are chewing on turkey:
     
     A while back somebody said that our stock fans were located too far 
     into the shrouds, and that a lot of air was getting flung off the 
     blade tips inside and recirculating.  Short of stretching our cars, or 
     bending the heck out of the shrouds, there's no way to cure this.  Or 
     is there?
     
     Has anyone thought of fabricating a lip to add to the shroud, that 
     would extend inward toward the radiator, to block the air being flung 
     off the blade tips, and prevent it from recirculating?  I'm thinking 
     of a cylinder shaped device, about an inch high, and the diameter of 
     the shroud opening.  I can see a potential down side here, where the 
     lip could restrict airflow at high speeds, but maybe there's some 
     compromise depth that would work. 
     
     Any thoughts?
