Hey Jim

I really like the clean look of that dual fan set up. I have recently emailed a fellow from US Radiator and he said that they custom make fan/shroud combos and your rad is pretty much identical to mine except aluminum. I bet they could make me one on spec!

Is there any chance you could get an exact measurement out from the rad fins?

If its only 2 1/2 it would easily work for me also. I have closer to 3 inches of real estate available in there!!!

How does it attach to the radiator?

Also is there a number on the fan motors? I would like to see what they are rated at and what they pushing out for cfm.

I am now feeling pretty darn good about 2500 cfm fans on my system especially if yours is also in that ballpark. The Spal fans have a real good reputation! If I am reading the inter-web reviews I have been seeing probably even better than Flex-a-lites I have been looking at.

Anyway thanks a ton. I look forward to seeing how the shroud attaches and exactly how wide it is.
