ALuminum Fan Shroud dual 14" whatcha think
Just finished the welding up. I built 2 units one out of .125 materail and the other .093.
The .125 was a alot harder to break and fold into position than the .093. Both seem plenty rigid and look like plenty of room for the controll to fit on the shroud at the top between the fans. And even fit dual 16"er's. But the air flow vs cost not sure if I need 16's.
I choose the Spal curved blade design to keep the noise down. And the dual fan controller from them with a/c temp inputs, hi and low set points I think will be a great asset.
What Yall think?

Thats for the larger 34" radiator right? It looks good and I've been tossing up the idea of fabbing up something for myself. However I have a smaller radiator and I dont know if I should waste my time.

When the A/C turns on both fans will run full tilt.
The unit has a high and low temp.
Between low and high temp only one fan will run @ low speed, then if the engine hits the hi temp both fans turn on max speed.
Pretty neat little controll box.
