I am guessing, torquing over doesn't affect the fan shroud at all, or you would have heard something by now....still a great project...Tazz, and Rudy are stopping by on there way to the Dragon meet...can't wait to see this baby....and no, I won't be standing in line...but, I will keep it mind when I am brousing the junk yard for parts...especially now that I know they will fit, and I have Rudy in tow with his knowledge....and I won't forget all that you went through to get there as well....I had another project in mind for awhile, but this makes a lot more sense. I still have a blue coupe to finish, two lsd's to pay for, and then I can dream about a V-8...lol....great work on your part and the other guys....and now, we are seeing some German engineering appearing on the scene...maybe having Buggin serving our country will serve the rest of us some great info as well...lol
