    I'm not sure if my 1970 with V6 is supposed to have a factory fan shroud, but I'd like to ad one. I did find a fiberglass one at the jeepsterman site, but not sure how that one attaches. Any ideas ? Thanks!

    I put one of those on my '69 last year along with a Champion radiator. It seems like a good part. You can see the posting here (and there are a few more higher up the thread):

    I installed one of his shrouds. Minor fitting was needed on mine to clearance the alternator pulley. Very happy with it.

    I made my own out of sheet metal (used cardboard for a mock up)
    Works great and it was free!

    I did the same. The engine never heated up prior to installing it, but I felt the need to install one anyway.
    I ran a tin sheet around the radiator perimeter that was wide enough to put the blades inside it. I could feel the difference from the front of the grill.

    Jp magizine has a good article on making one with an old t shirt and fiberglass. I made one it works fine Cost about twenty bucks and an afternoon.

    I used this one on my 1969 Jeepster Commando with the Dauntless V6. Fit fine and seems to do the job. It attaches with 6 screws, 3 on each side.

    Fan shroud, for 22" radiator
