Ok, not to beat a dead horse, but wanting to make sure I don't end up tossing out a $85 shroud should:

- I just buy a 17" fan and let it go at that? If so a flex fan from like AutoZone?

- Modify the shroud by cutting off material so that an 18" fan fits? If so, a flex fan or is there a benfit to finding an old OEM fan?

- Modify the shroud by cutting off even more material and making the 19 1/2" fan work?

Appreciate everyones patients with me on this!
