    cut the holes and the fans mounted have sealed all around the fans and got the wiring in place and most connected will fit all the hoses and fill the system with coolant in morning and give it a test run

    Ive got the davis graig adjustable temp sender unit the sender slides into the top hose with the controller mounted near by it you can see the controller in a couple of the pics i think i have the fans coming on a bit early waiting for the tempgauge to arrive so i can install and set them to the correct temp my son made the shroud for me he makes a lot of the things i need for it best thing about having a boiler maker in the family

    how did you brace the shroud?

    when I looked at doing a similar thing I was advised to take it to a fabricator to get it stamped to provide some rigidity....

    G`day one of the pics above shows how we the braced it if i did it again though i would put about another 10mm between the shroud and the radiator to allow just that little bit more airflow
