Re: Busted fan blade and shroud

[Newigi@domain.elided]

Well, the radiator is pulled and the front area cleaned out. I found out that 
during the original dealer installed air-conditioning it appears that some 
monkey had cut the fan shroud so that the extended crank pulley (so that it 
could pull both the alternator and the installed compressor unit) would fit. 
To do this they eliminated the entire bottom section of the shroud making it 
extremely weak and flexible.  Since I have it out, how about installing a 
slim electric fan that pulls and would one match up to the four bolts that 
the original shroud was bolted to?  This seems like a great option since I 
have the radiator out anyway. Has anybody done this? Where did they get the 
fan? How much? Did it fit on the four shroud bolts? What is the deal?  I like 
the thought of improving the space for future work, improving the performance 
and improving the cooling.  Thanks, Norm.
