FAN SHROUD ON FC MODEL 3208NA
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.
