Looking to buy a 2785-614 rad shroud. Anybody have experience with the repops. I thought I heard that some of the original repops tended to shrink from the heat. Suggestions on vendors?

I came across a place today (sunday) called Herb's Parts. Just search the web. They says theres is the same material as original. I am looking to get one also when I get a radiator.

Herb's appears to have the best price of the couple of places I have checked (Jack's and Year One).

The ones that Mancini and others sell are crap...they are made out of brittle plastic that will break easy...the first one they sent for my 22" radiator was cracked when I got it...

There have been reports of the re-pops warping.
Then there are reports that a new material has been used.
How do you know which is which ?.......Who knows.
Good luck with it.

Ordered one from Herb's Parts. Got free shipping. I'll just have to see if it is any good...keeping my fingers crossed.

I'm looking to find this shroud as well. All the catalogs state they are for use with AC equipped cars but I don't have AC. Will it still fit? Are there any other alternatives to this particular part? My Cuda is running a little warm & I'm looking for a quick, easy fix.

i get that but i doubt that there are many companies making them. I'd think they are all selling the same repop shrouds from the same place in china made from the same materials.
