Shroud Question

GoingH2o · May 28, 2003

I just received my package from Dtek containing a Pro Chevette Core with Shroud

There are 4 threaded rods and 4 flying nuts with the shroud.
The fan goes on the outside thats ok I figured it out

but what about attaching the shroud to the heatercore.

The threaded nuts are long enuff to fit to the other side of the RAD but I dont want to damage the RAD fins by enlarging them to make the threaded rod go to the other side

Any suggestions?

doesnt it come assembled???? im thinking about buying this too

Pre-Assembled would need a bigger box to be shipped in.

The 2 items shroud & core come in different wrapping.

GoingH2o - That's exactly the way they mean for you to do it;
stuff those rods right thru the core fins & out the other side.

I agree, Yeccchh.

If you take a cheapo pen apart you have that little straw where the ink is, right? Use that to shpe the right fins so the rods go through easier.

I bought the same thing and had the same dilemma. It will work to simply push the threaded rods through the fins; you'll make a few metal shavings and have the general feeling that there-oughta-be-a-better-way.
What I finally did was go to the grocery store and buy a pack of long bamboo skewers. The diameter is about the same, they're pointed on one end, and they're much gentler on your fins.
I used them to get everything lined up and make pilot spaces through the fins, then pushed the rods through with a lot less trauma.

Hey! Good suggestion!

Thanks.
It's the same basic idea as your pen tube, but I was doing a push-pull setup and needed something longer.

Ok here is a in depth review of the D-Tek Pro Core.

Attaching the shroud now makes more sense
