Engine shroud mod to seal rad inlet??

For those of you who have modified your engine shroud to seal off the sides of the radiator/condensor "mouth" on the FD, do you know if anyone has developed a template for the side tabs, or is anyone aware of online instructions for this mod.

Thanks in advance

I was considering tracing mine onto paper for others to use, but honestly it isn't required. I laid under my car for about an hour with pieces of cardboard and scissors; once I made each side fit like I wanted I transefered the pattern to some aluminum and got the tin snips out.

I attached my seal plates to the a/c condensor mounting screws, that way I can drop the belly pan and the plates stay put.

This mod does work well; I notice my temps (stock gauge) running a needle width lower and on the highway even more so.
