making life easier

Have you done so much to the car today that it just doesn't fit into one section, or are you too damn lazy to split it all up? Either way, this is the section for you.

making life easier

Post by Briano1234 »

I had to remove the fan shroud to replace the Radiator fan, and it irritated me that I had to take the radiator out of the bottom sockets and wiggle to get the shroud off the bottom hose cutout, and the switch cutout... So i started to think.

Normal shroud

What the shroud looked like.

How to avoid the switch/hose jiggle.

Make 3 cuts with tin snips.

Finished it now goes in and out so much easier filed the cut edges to make them dull.
