What this mod. does is, it lets you have access the front of the engine ( fan, water pump, belt, etc.), without having to remove the whole fan shroud, which is a lot of work, especially in an emergency. (On the side of the road.)
There is a thread here on TDR about this, ( which I just tried to find, no luck ). But I can give you a brief description as to what it is. I did mine when I was fixing my KDP.
All you do is, after removing the shroud, cut out the top section of the shroud , from about 10:30 to 1:30 o'clock, then fabricate two simple Z-clips and drill and bolt the pieces back together, to make the shroud a complete circle again.
Then, if or when you ever need access for changing a belt,fan clutch, etc., you just remove the top part of shroud, do your fix, then bolt the shroud back together.
If you need more info. on this, I think I could probably find the thread here on TDR. Just PM me, and let me know.
