T he shroud looks to be black plastic mounted to alum brackets.
Any idea where your friend got the shroud?

[oldskool]

the shroud was mine and made by walker radiator co.no longer in business its made of polypropline cut with a jig saw

I'd like to find one like that

i placed an ad on here in the wanted section about a year ago and a fellow barner had a NOS one uncut in the box , hopefully a company will buyout walkers the tooling and start making radiators and shrouds again

I was planning to buy one of their radiators when Walker announced it was shutting it's doors. There were a number of stocking Walker dealers around the country so I immediately started calling them to find a radiator -- and shroud -- for my '35. Speedway had one, perhaps you could find one sitting in stock at one of these dealers.


Fortunately, Johnson's Hot Rod Shop has picked up the Walker business. I don't know if they'll be offering the shrouds too, but you could check with them:

Nice job. Shroud looks good.
When I installed my 1940 Walker shroud on the 1940 Walker radiator, I cut it in half horizontally so it would be easy to remove without having to remove the fan. You can't see the cut line in the photo but, it's there.

Just looked at their site. They sell the fan & shroud assy . Didn't find the shroud only

Another option should be Vintage Air, the air conditioning folks. I could not open their catalog but did notice Speedway Motors offers plastic shrouds fron Vintage Air. Hope this helps.

If you can close off the bottom part, the shroud will work better. The less open space around the shroud the better it works.

I went to allot of trouble to construct an aluminum shroud for my 40 Ford with A/C. I found the problem with the full coverage shroud was the restricted air flow at speed. I first cut some windows with flapper doors so they would open with pressure. Eventually I found that using no shroud was OK with my setup.

I have a Walker Radiator with Cooling Components fan and shroud in my 40 standard. Works great.
