Title: WTB a/c fan shroud
Post by: freddie.zee65 on December 27, 2015, 02:17:40 PM

Does anyone have an a/c fan shroud for GS? I used to see them on ebay from time to time but Kirban seems to have discontinued them.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Fred Z.

If someone has a good picture of a 65 GS AC shroud could they please post it. I also may need one.

There is a pic in this ebay link. There may also be a few pics in the photo gallery.

If you are interested in a repop, call Dennis Kirban.  He told me he has a local guy that makes them for him and he can order from him.  Not sure how long it takes, but he confirmed that they are out of stock, not discontinued.

Thanks Chuck, I contacted Dennis via eBay waiting on his reply. Might you have a contact number for him?

Their number is on the website:  http://www.kirbanperformance.com/ (http://www.kirbanperformance.com/)

Note that their quality is reported to be far below the factory parts.  But if no factory parts are available, at least these will fit.  They'll probably need a lot of TLC to get them to look decent.

Thanks for the replies. Talked to Kirban this AM. They tell me they don't have any, discontinued them and won't be getting any more. They suggested Year One and Ames.

Anyone else?

Ask to talk with Dennis Kirban directly.  When I called them the first time, I got the same answer.  But called back and talked with Dennis and got a different response.  And if you find them at other sources, please let us know.

The Parts Place has them on their web site for $139.00. But not a quality piece. :nono:
