#1 Radiator fan terminal cover - make your own...

I made 2 new covers as per the picture. I just wondered if anyone wants a copy of the drawing I produced for these, they are very easy to make with a sheet of black pinseal plastic from EBay and some nifty scissor work. As you will see, the plastic I bought (very cheap), is near enough identical to the one original shroud that I had on my car. Well worth the minimal effort for the cost saving over repro parts that are available.

What exactly is the purpose of these? I've got a set in a drawer waiting to be fitted when I've got the time but other than for the sake of originality I can't see they do an awful lot!

Looks like a rapid solution to unexpected water ingress...

Hey monkey finger
That's awesome, could you please send me the drawings you did as my car has never had these so have nothing to copy.
Cheers
Steve
