2785-614 Shroud Repo Experience

[brokengarage]

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.
