Re: Fan shroud..

The cheap, ******* way would be to just stick a large washer under the bolt head to hold it down.

A better way would be to cut a small tab from some sheet metal to hold it down.

The correct way would be to replace the whole piece.

Me, I would just cut a small tab from sheet metal for it and use that. It should work just fine and if you paint it to match the shroud you won't notice it unless you're looking for it.
