First tape the shroud...
|
...so you can draw the cut lines with a ...
|
...marker pen
|
Keep the lower part of the shroud intact, only removing the top section
|
Once cut, file the edges round
|
1"x2" sheet metal locator tabs were placed where indicated
|
a 6" section of piano hinge was fastened to the passenger side
|
|
3 locator tabs were fitted to the clasp side
|
..over the center tab, a spring clasp was mounted..
|
..Three of the tabs were reworked to act as guides for the top cover. As the cover is closed, the double tabs capture the edge and keep it rigid.
|
|
..The pieces were sanded clean and the inside sprayed Light machine Grey
|
...
|
|
|
...test fit....
|
...then with the fan...
|
...another idea...
|
... a trouble light to see in the dark..
|
...fitted and wired
|
...the new 3 row radiator..
|
...one
|
.....two
|
.......three
|
............four
|
....not too shabby
|
....and makes life a bit easier...

|
....and the light works too..
