Where can you find one of "Damon's amber fan shrouds?" Cost?

Since we're on the topic.. does anyone have any experience with the various amber/fiberglass sheet metal tin replacements. Any better than others?

Thanks

Due to the difficulty described here that's involved with cutting these shrouds to make them fit, I wound up cutting two or three of my six intake holes a little big. Is this going to cause cooling problems? Mine is not a Getty, but did require lots of cutting.

I totally agree with Damon's fan shrouds being the best in town.
His company: Series 900

No offense to the originator of this thread, but his shroud does not look very "amber" to me.
It's more of a washed out off grey.
Perhaps it's just the camera?

Here is my Series 900 amber fan shroud that I put on my 2.7 RS MFI engine.
Now that's what I call amber!
As far as I know, very little if any work was required to get it to fit.
It looks great IMHO.

All shrouds exit the mold needing edge trimming.

Most come out of the box looking like this (hopefully not distorted):


However, the final fitment requires install holes as well as six cutouts for the intake system (EFI or carbs).


A Dremel tool with carbide cutter and sanding drums:








If an amber shroud appeared on your recent rebuild, someone spent time for a proper fit. Add a few hours onto the rebuild schedule.

^^ Which shroud is that? ^^


I'm a little less worried, your intake gaps look similar to mine. I suppose once my carbs are back on it'll be sealed up a little better.

The camera angle and shroud height above the intake flange makes the openings appear larger than the gasket. If possible, I suggest minimal air gap to reduce potential airflow loss in this area. Some U-shaped rubber molding around the inside of the opening can help.

I know this is an old thread but are Series 900 shrouds still the one to get? I’m in the market and have called and emailed Series 900 but haven’t gotten a response. Wondering if they’re still producing them?

I got the one from EB Motorsport. Rothsport carries them in the US

He lists them on Ebay.
