    eBay Fan Shrouds

    So I'm looking to purchase a cheap eBay fan shroud and was wondering if the NB eBay shroud would fit with a NA koyo/mishimoto radiator. From what I had read the radiators mount differently. I found no answer to the fan shrouds being interchangeable.

    I couldn't find a NA fan shroud on eBay (besides the stock fan shroud) unless it's purchased with a radiator.

    -I currently have a mishimoto slim fan ziptied to my koyo radiator (r-series).
    -I am turbo'd
    -installed the coolant reroute
    -preparing for my next tune with the built engine..

    I had bought a separate fan shroud/slim fan kit from ebay for my NA and it worked very well. Not sure about interchangeability though

    If you have a local machine shop with a laser/waterjet it is really easy to make one as well, would be cheaper than the e-bay one I guess and a perfect fit.

    Thank you for your inputs. I would like to have a machine shop make one for me but they're pricey in Hawaii..
    By looking at the pictures, it looks like they would fit. Then again, it's eBay..

    I purchased a 18" x 26" aluminum baking sheet ($5.99 + shipping in CONUS) that I will trim down to my 16"x26" aluminum radiator.

    I made the first of 2 patterns for my DIY cookie sheet fan shroud (I'll post pics soon). First, I made a rough pattern on packaging paper (to get a rough placement of bolt holes and inlet and outlet pipes). From that, I'll transfer the pattern to cardboard to make a final template for the aluminum sheet.
