[Tigers] Instrument Sttabilizer frolics

[denis mercier]

Hi Jim.
I'm the Quebec guy you met at United in Maine 2 years ago. I'm possibly make 
some enclosed lower fan shroud this fall before to go for winter
at my house in Florida. Last winter i bring with me my Tiger in Florida and 
by the same time i tested the enclosed shroud. Fantastic...the engine stay 
at 195 by
very hot weather with maverick fan C9DZ-8600-A, no electric fan, horn holes 
blocked.
