I thought someone was using a shrouded Flex-O-Lite fan, maybe like this one:

I thought they make a unit that is a good fit.

I have been “radiator shopping” and have had a lot of good tips from The List. I am grateful for that and am leaning to the copper/brass units for repairability and longevity. Aside from the extra weight, of which I don’t care too much about, It seems the aluminum radiators get cracks at the welds and leak - not all, since I currently have one w/o leaks. The Hall Radiator seems very popular but I wanted a shroud to “focus” the air. So here is where I need more info: feelings about shrouds. A good friend that does a lot of off-road racing absolutely swears by shrouds and I don’t think the Hall unit is shrouded. If people agree about the importance of a shroud, and Hall radiators don’t come with them, I guess I need to find someone that can build a shroud for it and incorporate the fans. I THINK - open ears here. I have also contacted The Brassworks as per another List email. They told me they built one for a Pantera owner and gave me his name, and I posted it here on The List, but no response so far.
Always interested -

I have been aradiator shoppinga and have had a lot of good tips from
The List. I am grateful for that and am leaning to the copper/brass
units for repairability and longevity. Aside from the extra weight, of
which I donat care too much about, It seems the aluminum radiators get
cracks at the welds and leak - not all, since I currently have one w/o
leaks. The Hall Radiator seems very popular but I wanted a shroud to
afocusa the air. So here is where I need more info: feelings about
shrouds. A good friend that does a lot of off-road racing absolutely
swears by shrouds and I donat think the Hall unit is shrouded. If
people agree about the importance of a shroud, and Hall radiators donat
come with them, I guess I need to find someone that can build a shroud
for it and incorporate the fans. I THINK - open ears here. I have also
contacted The Brassworks as per another List email. They told me they
built one for a Pantera owner and gave me his name, and I posted it
here on The List, but no response so far.
