Hey gang,
I purchased a new fiber shroud and ended up using it as a template to make my
own out of aluminum.
The aluminum shroud needed some trimming beyond the fiber unit to make fit
perfectly, but in the end I obtain an excellent result. I then made templates
from the aluminum sections.
You can see it in the opening thumb nail photo of my restoration video and it
is highlighted in the video at some point.
Cheers,
Dave H.
