Modifying a 911 fan shroud

[EvilOval]

You might have these confused. It seems your talking about a T4 with the 911 conversion. Since using either the sharpbuilt or BAS you would have to machine down the breather tower. T1's don't have that.....I just wondering why the alternator's fan ring is turned down to make this all work. The difference is maybe a 1/4" to at the most a 1/2" between a standard ring and a turned down one. Is there clearance issues with an unmodified ring in relation to the distributor? Or just a lack of fan belts that would fit.

I'm sort of thinking....that I can make a new mold of the T1 fan shroud that would work with an unmodified fan ring....modify the alternator mounting bracket that's included with the FAT kit and use a standard 911 strap and ring.
