[TR] Just a quick followup on the stainless steel TR4A IRS radiator/fan shroud...

[Jim Bauder]

Dave,

I ran across the same problem with using either ugly cardboard or nothing when I
restored my TR250.

I designed a shroud similar to the aluminum/stainless ones built for the TR6s,
but I used commercially available ABS sheets, smooth on one side and 'textured'
on the other. I made a cardboard pattern to lay out the sides using tabs towards
the rear of the side pieces so I could bolt the sides to the radiator supports,
then transferred the design to the ABS sheets and cut all the parts out with a
table saw so I would have straight cuts, except the mounting tabs where I used a
saber saw. I used 1' X 1' aluminum angle pieces at each top corner and pop
rivited to each side. Then used Tinnerman nuts and some black Phillips pan head
screws that I had, to assemble the top surface to the sides and to the leading
edge above the grill opening.   

If you would like a picture, email me and I will send a couple so you can get a
better idea of what it looks like.

Regards,

Jim

Hi All,
I found what I can almost use.. The stainless steel radiator shroud I had seen
before is sold by GoodParts and unfortunately will not work on
TR4/TR4A/TR-250's. I am months away from needing one and may just get one of the
fiber board units that are available from state side vendors in the $35.00
range.
If anyone finds any stainless steel shrouds, let me know.
Thanks,
Dave Connitt
