Terry - I don’t have the original radiator - I currently have a Fluidyne with twin suckers, tilted forward, and A/C condenser in front. Originally, I wanted to just add a shroud, based on a friend of mine who does some serious off-road driving - he swears by a shroud - says it really made a difference for him and that I should AT LEAST get one for the whole “Pantera-Heat-Prevention Program. That sounds good - (PHPP). Anyway, the more I looked into things, the more I was “converted" to brass/copper as it seems to be more reliable - and more repairable (which I like).

Terry - I don't have the original radiator - I currently have a
Fluidyne with twin suckers, tilted forward, and A/C condenser in front.
Originally, I wanted to just add a shroud, based on a friend of mine
who does some serious off-road driving - he swears by a shroud - says
it really made a difference for him and that I should AT LEAST get one
for the whole "Pantera-Heat-Prevention Program. That sounds good -
(PHPP). Anyway, the more I looked into things, the more I was
"converted" to brass/copper as it seems to be more reliable - and more
repairable (which I like).

Hey all - A few weeks ago I was talking asking The List
about radiators - all said-and-done, I decided on the Hall radiator,
since I wanted brass/copper instead of aluminum. And, yes Mike Drew, I
have to admit it's because I want to, not necessarily NEED to. It ain't
broke, but I am fixing it(?). Didn't want to admit that, but...Lol.
There really is an ulterior motive, but I just don't want to mention it
right now; but I ran my idea past Brassworks - who says they will
"build-to-suit" - but the Hall unit looks to be "tried-and-proven".
Now - fans. I really don't know the brand name of my fans, but they are
suckers - about 12" diameter - and the blades are "curved" -
sickle-shaped. The names that been bouncing around are Mariah, SPAL,
and Flex-a-lite. I had read someone's post about the Flex-a-lite's
since they said they can be - or are - mounted in a shroud that is a
perfect match for the Pantera radiator size. I think. And someone
offered-up a part number, but I deleted (or lost) it. All normal for
me.
So - I am ready for opinions/suggestions:
