I'm thinking of lining the perimeter of the ABS shroud with foam weatherstrip to make a good seal. I want ALL the air going through my bling-o Ron Davis rad.

BTW thanks for doing a new thread - hard to keep track of all the old ones.

I got the fan new at Spaldings, which is a huge local junk yard / parts warehouse. It was in an unopened box that said Motorcraft on the label, so I assume they're Bosch motors. I'm not sure on the appearance of a Bosch motor versus a Dorman one (if there even is a visible difference), so I can't say for sure if it is a Bosch or not.

As far as the tubing, it's just what was readily available to me. There's a fab shop a ways off base that I have do minor work for me from time to time, and they had this and some 2" tubing that I'll be using for subframe connectors on my Duster so I picked up both right then and there.

Good idea on the weatherstrip. I think I have some vinyl foam left over in my garage somewhere that'll be perfect to fill in the little gap there will be between the fan shroud and the rad.
