Question I need a fan shroud

I bought a set of e-fans from a guy here, and me being myself, didn't notice they didn't come with a fan shroud. So I've been calling perma-cool trying to buy the shroud only and they have been no help what so ever.

Does anyone have any idea on what I could do instead, since I can't get the correct shroud from Perma?

Any custom ideas you guys can think of? I'd really appreciate some thought to this...b/c really I'm not qualified for thinking to much.

I have a stock shroud for you. The upper piece was clearanced for the FIPK, though. PM me if interested.

I think I'd look into rigging up some 1" x 1/16 - 1/8" x XX" length strips of metal, vertically, using the upper and lower radiator supports to secure it to... You'd run shrowdless, but it would give the fans something to mount to.

I saw a picture out there where someone has done this... I just don't remember where and I can't seem to find it.

What about using the 05 fan shroud, or maybe a set of LS1 fan's shroud? Would this work? Mine are a 14 inch fan.
