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. |

I don't personally like the traditional GT solution with the small louvers. I use the two access holes to the back of the floor. The round covers are held in by seam sealer so there is no cutting involved. It wont work with the stock style GT shroud but I want something custom anyway. I'm going to convince Ben to make me a stainless steel shroud - (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) - I think it will look cool and I won't have to worry about throwing things in the trunk and damaging a glass shroud.
