Oh, well...can always find a use for the pump, and it won't be too much work putting the shroud back on. I think my next move is to close off from the front bumper to the rad bottom, to get the air to go through, rather than around.

Just wanted to report the bad news, in case anyone else was considering travelling the same road...don't bother.
Very much appreciated on all your work. Tested ideas, success or fail, are all good data.

Without data you have no direction. Thanks again for all your efforts!!!
