    Roger, Thanks for your reply. My guess at 55/45 comes from salvaging the Prestone I drained out while working on the shroud. I screen-filtered the liquid into two 1 gallon jugs at about half filled and then added water to the neck so I may have 50/50? Anyway I plan to add bona fide 50/50 Prestone and then use the diluted salvaged liquid as fill-to-the-top and later add spare Prestone. Heeding a caution by 34-40 I just ordered an aluminum blade NON-FLEX fan from Speedway. I chose the flex fan I have now for it's 10,000 rpm rating but the new fan is only rated at 6000 but enough for cruising even with low gear in the 700R4. For what it is worth I found that the thermoplastic shroud from Walker had to be trimmed quite a bit but wiping it with acetone on a rag made fabrication scratches glossy again so it still looks pretty good!
