FAN SHROUD ON FC MODEL 3208NA

[John]

The radiator on my 1982 35FCRB 'Bird with a 3208NA and a Horton fan,
doesn't have a shroud and I want to have one made. Is there anybody
on here that has this combination of engine and fan, that can give me
the measurements of the the shroud, including the depth, height and
width and also the location of the shroud mounts. A photograph of the
mounts and shroud configuration would be helpful.

I believe that the fan was upgraded to the Horton and since it is
larger in diameter that the stock fan, I believe that one of the
previous owners just left the shroud off.

I'll try and get you some photos of mine, I have my front sheet
metal off to add an intake air deflector so I should be able to get
a decent shot of it. My radiator opens the opposite way yours does,
its hinged on the drivers side.

I stopped by International Bus & Parts (800) 468-5287
<http://www.1800intlbus.com/index.htm> in Apopka, Florida today,
toured the parts warehouse and picked up a catalog. They are still
in the process of putting their catalog on line but they have a
shroud similar to the one on my bus P/N 05-0800-001.

They are complete metal-fab shop and will custom build anything you
want out of stainless or aluminum including grill covers. They build
all the body panels for MCI, GMC and Eagle coaches.

They have a set of quad rectangular halogen headlights that I would
like to upgrade the front of the 'lodge with for under $200 complete
with bezels. I'd also like a set of custom polished aluminum panels
to replace the front access panels and grill opening panel on my FC
instead of repainting it (which it really needs).

Next time you are in or around Orlando, stop by and get a tour and
bring your gold card, you will need it.

Good luck,

Thanks Tim,

Is the shroud at International Bus & Parts similar, or identical to
yours and do you have a Horton fan on yours. Your photos will be
greatly appreciated as in the past. When I go to the welder to have
the shroud fabricated, I will finish up the genset drawer lock there.

The dimensions I need are, width and height and the depth, or how far
away from the back of the radiator is the opening of the shroud and
if you have a Horton fan, how big is the diameter of the hole and the
location of the hole, from the top and sides of the shroud. If you
need to call me you can reach me at 803-783-7137 and let it ring as
it is forwarded to my cel phone after four rings here in the
shop/office.

Thanks again,

John:

If you're installng a Horton fan, call the Engineers at Horton. They
were an excellent help when I was fitting the Horton to my '88, told
me how much clearance to allow for fan stretch etc. in the shroud
opening.

Thanks Jeff,

If we can get Woody to open the swing radiator on his "WOODY
BIRD"when he picks it up at Randy's, then Randy will duplicate the
shroud for me, now I have to work on Woody, maybe some MRE's.......I
think not!!

I will contact Horton though just to make sure of the proper
dimensions.
