− | Start by measuring all of the dimensions, taking care to consider all of the following:
| + | |
− | #How will the shroud attach to the radiator?
| + | |
− | #Are there any significant obstructions?
| + | |
− | #What's the distance between the fan and the radiator?
| + | |
− | #Are there any noteworthy angles or off-center components?
| + | |
− | #How much clearance is needed aroung the fan to allow for engine or body movement?
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | For example, this fan is off-center towards the passenger side by about 1/2", sets back about 1 3/8" ,and it swings about 1" above the top of the radiator. It is parallel with the radiator, and there are no hoses or other obstructions to deal with on this particular project.
