Gauging Interest: GT Oil-cooler Fan support Options

[RiqueMar]

Hi All,

I've received several messages and seems there is some interest in a recent fan/shroud support I created for my 3.6 project. Sending this thread out to gauge interest in producing a run of these, photos of the prototype below (shown in ABS)....

Generalities:
- 16 gauge steel, easily customizable for each build, and allows the 'garage builder' to weld
- Added 1" on top and bottom. The user/myself can either bend the top and bottom to be used as an additional air-direct for pusher/puller fans, or as a support for aluminum/fiberglass shroud OR the excess can be trimmed to more accurately reflect the below photo.
- In production now, 1-2 week to delivery
- Targeting 'initial run' price of $120 per piece, will increase.

The bracket and three fans fit under a GT cooler shroud w/o mods?

@Luke M - You'll notice from the photos that the shroud itself is only a little-bit larger than the cooler, .125" top and bottom. I'm attaching a few pictures of the mount I fabricated for my cooler to make it easily removable. Studs are M8, and allow the user to add a isolator and reduce vibration, I'll admit I went a bit overkill, but it was fun. If there is enough interest, happy to make these mounting brackets as well, I have the designs in my notes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

Hopefully, this will pick up enough, and I can justify pulling a mold for the shroud. I added tabs to eliminate sheet-metal screws, making it both easier to mount (off the body instead of the cooler) and overall cleaner. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)
