[Tigers] Miloden Water Pumps

	I seem to remember someone using a 90's Taurus fan shroud.
Most of today's fan shrouds are made of plastic which should be a little
easier to work with than metal, especially the original Tiger shroud.   I
hate to cut up original parts unless absolutely necessary and even then
maybe not.
Might be worth measuring some at the wreck yard.

You can always compare between the shroud as is today to without the shroud
to see if there is a heat problem or if you really don't need to do anything
at all.

Hey guys: (any "gal"  listers out there?)

Does anyone know if its possible to press the shaft back in a Miloden water
pump to gain clearance from the rad?

Since I installed an alloy rad approx  3/4 inch thicker than stock, and
fitted the original shroud, the fan blades are now buried
in the shroud completely. I understand for maximum effect the blades should
be roughly 2/3 inside - 1/3 outside the shroud.
Two possible solutions: fit a shorter water pump (does one exist?) or
shorten the shroud, which would reduce the shroud's effectiveness.

I'm not sure which is the better of two bad choices: leave the fan buried ot

cut down the depth of the shroud?

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Dave Munroe
