i know its a doghouse one you donkey! Grin

i had a nos trekker fan shroud about ten years ago and it had an air intake extension funnel shaped thing in front of the fan hole to increase the airflow, if its got that then i'd be more interested than if it's just a regular trekker shroud,

That would be news to me. The only d/h shrouds I've seen with the venturi are late model FI shrouds. Either way, it isn't a difficult or expensive task to weld a venturi on to that (or any) shroud.

Sorry, no velocity ring on the intake. Don'nt think they had been thought of in 73.
You do not see to many with the reinforced coil mount.

It definetly had the venturi because i sold it to a friend who promptly cut it off because he didn't know what it did!! ludites...

Whats wrong with New Zealand?

I gave the shroud a Blast, Its a very clean shroud. Im using a Tf-1 case and do not want to cut a 1 year only shroud, So i will use a Scat 36 hp doghouse.
