I think Ive been operating under the mistaken assumption that the engine
fan blew air across through the radiator. I even installed a shroud
(converted from a plastic tub used by restaurants for busing tables), but
when I felt that it wasnt blowing out air through the cracks, I took it
off.
I now want to reinstall a fan shroud and this time, I hope I can
feel it sucking air across the cracks. I am looking for design guidelines
and tips since Ive never seen the cardboard version. What I am thinking of
is simply an inverted U shape made out of 1x4s pieces of thin plank, 3
boards are all thats needed. The top 13 board is horizontal and just
under the radiator hose to the thermostat. The two sideboards just run
straight down to the ground and are about 2 long; they are attached to the
top board at a 90 degree angle. All boards have aluminum sheeting wrapped
around them and tacked to the boards. This inverted U would sit close to
the radiator almost touching the engine.
What thinkest the list of such a basic design?
Thanks,
Paul Dorsey
