do u buy this shroud?
What do they look like?
Modded mine to fit today but contemplating whether or not to do it because of the transmission teets on the radiator, do i need to buy a standalone transmission cooler?

The shrouds need to have as few gaps as possible over the radiator surface, so no air is lost.

bump! for those that have asked, i recently installed EF thermo fans on a vh v8 radiator.
they do fit, with alot of cutting (see below). i had to cut a bit extra out due to my gate being in the way.
very impressed at the massive increase in airflow over the standard clutch fan!
minus alot of pieces;
and fitted;
from what people said above, definately takes more than 10 mins to trim! alot of stuffing about installing, removing trimmming a bit more etc. pretty basic job though.
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Wow, those fans look huge on that radiator!
I have a set of fans fitted to a good two core radiator with a 40-100 degree Celcius control kit. Check my threads.
