Re: Shroud or not to shroud

Larry,

I understand but uncertain I can explain.  But seems that if your fan is 
right up against the rad then putting a shroud around the fan tips is 
good.  Make a strip as wide as rad to back end of blades. allow for 4 
attach-to-rad tabs which should be bent at 90.   Then fix shroud around fan 
blades.  This stops air spilling off the ends of the fan blades.  An all 
rad-covering shroud seems to work best if the fan is pulled back away from 
the rad (I do not have this option).  The one thing I figured out myself is 
that blocking air flow over the top of the rad (under the bonnet) is a good 
idea - although maybe the cold fresh air missing the rad but into the 
engine bay could be a good idea??  I do wish I had a test vehicle and had 
the time to do some tests!!!
