Fan shroud questions.
As promised i made some small reinforcemehts for the top, and bottom out of part of the center i cut out of the shroud. I used some aluminum tape to stick em in place, then used JB weld to glue them in place, when dry i used 2 layers of fiberglass cloth and resin to stiffen up the upper one. The lower one was so small that just using the JB weld stiffened it up sufficiently. The metal attach brackets i envisioned out of .050" aluminum sheet was an epic fail, so back to the drawing board on these. I may need to make them out of thinner more maliable steel sheet. I got plans, and an old manilla file folder to cut up and use for a template.
