Is it necessary to have a fan shroud for the Ford version of the MGTD.  About to install my radiator mounts and radiator and couldn’t find an answer to this.  Seems like the pictures i have seen do not have one

 

Thanks

Flip, I don’t have a shroud on mine but I do have a electric fan in front of the radiator along with the fan on the crank.   I tried a larger chrome flex fan at one time too, I didn’t like the extra noise.   I have a 190* thermostat in her and she runs about 200* according to the gauge.  She’s never overheated but I wish I had used a 160* now.  My heater will run you out at times.   I’ll change it next time I have to take apart.

No shroud on mine either. Factory fan, no problems. If you build one, it can’t hurt.

No shroud on mine. Too hard to line up fan with radiator. Gauge reads 200 degrees but a thermometer at upper hose is usually 185. No overheating so far.
