Broke the fan shroud.

My ham fistedness and general fat finger syndrome often creates more work than I have planned, and this is just one such occasion.

Managed to break the fan shroud and it needs fixed as it's an important part of my low speed engine cooling and intercooling set up.

Broked it :(

Roughed up the area around the holes and the cracked plastic with some emery cloth.

Both sides of the joint are smothered in epoxy to lock it all in place.

Couple of days in the airing cupboard (at the speed I'm welding this thing up it could be a month :eek:) and ready to fit.
