We have several electric fan shrouds and engine-driven radiator fan shrouds for a variety of radiator and fan sizes. Most of the shrouds we sell will conform to the size radiator and fan you have in your vehicle. Both electric fan shrouds and engine-driven radiator shrouds will do their best work when tightly sealed against the radiator. Many older cars have holes or vents in the radiator support to help cool other components, but if you need to seal your fan shroud to the radiator, you can use a rubber gasket to make a tight seal against the radiator. So, if you look at most new vehicles, they have either plastic or rubber seals to help focus the air through the radiator. That’s what a fan shroud does, it directs the air through the radiator for more efficient cooling. When we get in a car on a hot day, do we just let the cool air blow in any direction? No, we focus the dash onto our body to help efficiently cool us down. As an illustration, let’s look at radiator fan shrouds in the same way we look at a car’s air conditioning dash vent. An aftermarket radiator fan shroud kit is designed to aid the radiator and cooling fan in making sure engine temps stay in range.
Radiator fan shrouds are specifically designed to guard against overheating. Do Fan Shrouds Help Guard Against Overheating? With that in mind, a fan shroud for aluminum radiator offerings is configured to bolt together with little fabrication.
For a fan shroud for aluminum radiator applications, many are available in a piece-by-piece fashion, and in many cases are designed to fit specific radiators. A universal plastic fan shroud has a variety of attachment methods, as do many aluminum fan shroud applications.

Radiator fan shrouds attach to a vehicle’s radiator with either metal or plastic clips and hardware, zip ties, or something similar. Electric fan shrouds are a little different than engine-driven fan shroud designs, but we have both, along with both direct-fit and custom fan shroud offerings. Without a fan shroud, incoming air will not be focused through the complete core surface, and cooling performance will suffer. This will aid in cooling because the fan shroud and cooling fan work together at drawing air through the radiator to cool the engine. Ideally, what you want is a radiator fan shroud sized for your radiator’s core surface, and an opening just larger than the cooling fan’s diameter. Cooling fan shrouds keep incoming air from bypassing the radiator. Cooling fan shrouds funnel air through the radiator to help keep your vehicle from overheating.
