Interesting update on "crappy" repro fan shrouds

I purchased the "2998 325" off of eBay about two years ago but have not used it yet. I did measure the opening for the fan and it only measurses 18.5 inches. I layed the fan in the shroud on the bench and it is very close fit. The PayPal was to a "Gman5" do you know if that's Winners Circle?

Thanks for the update.
