[TR] Radiator Shroud

[DAVE HOGYE]

Hey gang,

I purchased a new fiber shroud and ended up using it as a template to make my own out of aluminum.

The aluminum shroud needed some trimming beyond the fiber unit to make fit perfectly, but in the end I obtain an excellent result.  I then made templates from the aluminum sections.

You can see it in the opening thumb nail photo of my restoration video and it is highlighted in the video at some point.

Cheers,

Dave H.

Next, I bought another cardboard shroud, but this time I used the plastic from a garage sale shower wall.  It lasted--I don't know--maybe five years, then cracked apart.

In this heat, the floor mat was entirely flexible and bent easily, though it won't at lower temps.  Couple of screws to hold it down and done is done.
