Always looking for advice. Just received a fan shroud from Moss. ($48.95 plus shipping) Had no idea until it arrived that installation requires removal of the radiator and once installed tightening the alternator belt is difficult. Actually my cooling system is quite new and works pretty well. So the question is for those who have installed the fan shroud is it worth the work. My MG guru will do it if I sweet talk him. http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?2,2005827,2005827#msg-2005827 Wed, 22 May 2013 16:58:21 -0500 Phorum 5.2.15a http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?2,2005827,2007739#msg-2007739 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?2,2005827,2007739#msg-2007739
So I bought the radiator shroud. I had no problems with installation - no trimming of the shroud. I did not remove the radiator to install. I only unbolted it, slid it forward about an inch, slid in the shroud and re-installed the 6 radiator bolts. I can't remember, but I may have also loosened the air ducts. It's about a 30 minute easy job. I have not had any overheating problem with the shroud in place and have had no need to use the Water Wetter.

You may want to check to make sure your fan is not installed backwards. It's very hard to tell because it looks the same both ways. I think Barney posted a picture and maybe has one on his site. Mine was reversed. Putting it on correctly moves the fan about 1/2 inch closer to the radiator and the fan and radiator are then in very close proximity to each other.]]> Blueosprey90 MGA Forum Sat, 10 Mar 2012 16:23:25 -0600 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?2,2005827,2007486#msg-2007486 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?2,2005827,2007486#msg-2007486 Bob Agar MGA Forum Sat, 10 Mar 2012 11:25:33 -0600 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?2,2005827,2006542#msg-2006542 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?2,2005827,2006542#msg-2006542 GILMGA MGA Forum Fri, 09 Mar 2012 10:37:37 -0600 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?2,2005827,2006209#msg-2006209 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?2,2005827,2006209#msg-2006209 Texas Aggie MGA Forum Thu, 08 Mar 2012 22:36:31 -0600 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?2,2005827,2005928#msg-2005928 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?2,2005827,2005928#msg-2005928 barneymg MGA Forum Thu, 08 Mar 2012 16:40:31 -0600 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?2,2005827,2005827#msg-2005827 http://www.mgexp.com/phorum/read.php?2,2005827,2005827#msg-2005827
