radiator shroud

[jay964rs]

Hi all,
In an effort to try and improve cooling, I'd like to know if anyone has a radiator shroud or knows where I can get on for a 2.5 2002.
Also thinking of upgrading to a pro alloy rad, I assume the shroud will still fit?
Cheers Jay

Likewise here. I've got a 3 litre with one original fan and one upgraded fan but no shroud. Would like upgraded fan + shroud.

its only a bent piece of plate with holes in it, it would be easy to get one made.

It just needs to sit a few inches above the rad, bends down at the front to touch the rad, bends down at the sides to connect into the side pieces, and needs two big holes in it where the fans bolt on, make sure it is sealed to the rad, or the shroud will be useless.

The most effective mod for lowering coolant temps is to seal the rad to the underside of the clam.

sorry i can not find a top view, the only other pic of this area i could find was this, but it literally is just a piece of plate with holes in for the fans. Just alloy plate and then powder coat, Simon could make one in 10 minutes

Over on this side of the pond, the very early 3Rs had a fan shroud made out of bent anodized aluminum. Later 3Rs and M400s had the fan shroud made out of GRP or fiberglass. Should be very easy to make out of aluminum, if you have access to a box and pan brake and a welder. All you really need to know is the distance needed between the fan and the radiator.
