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.

Nice setup but I have a couple of questions:

Aren't you worried of blocking a lot of the air flow through the radiator with only having the round openings for the fan, knowing the fan hubs are also blocking, left with 3 donuts of open area?

You mentioned the shroud being larger than the cooler, how will you seal that void so the incoming cooling air can be forced through the radiator and not around it?

Thank you for sharing! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
