Does anyone know if you can buy a new cardboard condenser fan shroud?

Hi Zadd,
Doubt it. You can make one out of foam core board or sheet metal easy enough.

I thought Steve @ Fun-Tronics sold a couple different version... I could be wrong, but getting some black mat board from your local craft store is a start. Hopefully, your original is still somewhat intact to use as a template.

He has several different sizes...measure HxW and give him a call (301) 371-5246.
I talked to him today and I think he leaves Tuesday for a show and Friday's are iffy - Monday might be your best chance.

Jim mentioned the craft store black matte board as a possible way to make a shroud. I did it with very little problems for my Cavalier 55 and it turned out great and looks very original.
The only part thof making itthat differs from the way the factory made it is the process they used to create bends in the shroud material. At the factory they used a diecut press to initially cut out the shape and then used press to create a zig-zag pleat at the bend so that the material did'nt "break" at the bend. After some trial and error, I ended up just bening the material very slowly and deliberately untill it looked right.

When utilizing the mat board and be successful, you'll need to scribe minor cuts where the bends are to be. I'll also suggest, now this will sound confusing, but you'll want these cuts to be on the inside when you attach the shroud to the condensor coils, so you'll need to reverse the shroud layout. Kind of working from the inside so when you flip it over the fold/cut lines are on the inside and not visible...

Most box/packaging stores sell a box making tool that have a 'star' wheel on one end and a way to measure on the other end.
