[Tigers] Fwd: Instrument Sttabilizer frolics

[Rollright at aol.com]

Hello,
 
All you people interested in the Maple Leaf "Lower Fan  Shroud", please 
note Denis's data below.
 BTW: several New Englanders bought this part and have found Denis to  be a 
straight-ahead guy, except  for the fact that he would like  recompense in 
the form of Hudson's Bay Company blankets. (joke)
-Je me souviens-
 
Best to all,
 
Jim Armstrong

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.
