different 225mm fan housing
 

anyone have any idea what this housing was for? the one on the left is from my 79, the one on the right i intended on using as a replacement,but has a smaller diameter where the shroud meets, and at rear of the band. both have same casting numbershttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1763066469.jpg

Possibly the one on the right was machined down to a smaller diameter. Not much you can do in that case.

hey dj , ur probably right. however they did a great job at ruining it. not the answer i wanted but im finding out that buying anything from private parties online has that potential. i guess the search continues or i ll have to get 245mm . thnx for response

What you are looking at is an attempt to replicate the 906 fan housing.
The 906 used a unique fan housing, strap, 225mm fan and a special small fan shroud.
Reproductions are available from CarPoint DE.

I'll take it....All you need is a smaller strap, 225mm fan (which you can made out of any 245mm fan) and the 906 shroud w/side block offs.

so are u telling me the 906 shroud has the same outer profile as this. suppose i need to find a pic of a 906 shroud. it doesnt look to be machined , everything is same texture. thx for response hs

Who knows? I'm don't have the housing in front of me. What I'm saying is, there was a 906 fan housing that was smaller in diameter than the conventional fan housing.
As for "being machined", I guarantee it is a stock housing that has been machined to a smaller diameter.
