Do you think I will need to drop out the engine in order to fit new cooling flaps etc. in the fan shroud of my stock 1700??

Is it not a simple case of removing the tinware at that point?

I'm with the Cap'n on this one; I also don't remember the fan shroud needing to be off the engine.
I find it difficult to pull the left-side tin off the engine even with it out of the car, though. The one on my car likes to hang up on the dipstick tube, in particular. --DD |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) I found it easier with all the stuff out of the way, but apparently it's not mandatory. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) |

When you install the new flaps,please do a write up and post. I'm also interested in doing this and have all the parts needed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
