Name that part!

[ok7]

Does anyone know what this part is called? I been searching and don't know what to use for key words.

 

THANKS IN ADVANCE

Steering shaft shroud? I’m presuming the car is LHD.

In aviation it would be referred to as a fairing.

Looks like molded plastic or fiberglass. Either way it can serve as a pattern to make a new one or replaced with sheet rubber or a aluminum cover pop-riveted together without compound curves.

When I used google lens to search, many images from airplanes came up, but nothing quite like what I'm looking for.

I don’t have the part, just pictures where they were used. I think I will be able to fabricate one from aluminum, just wanted to find one for ease…..

This could be a start that might save some work.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with. I guess you found an incomplete project? Details?

[inchoate]

not really on topic, but that's the least expensive thing i've ever seen from aircraft spruce.

If you can make that,

You can skin an entire 7.

yes, a retirement project. I've had it about a year, 2005 Stalker, fifth maybe sixth owner unfinished.... and a bit of a mess.

I’ve spent most of my time sorting the engine. Just starting to think about the chassis and body work. The picture is car on trailer ready to come home...

Looks like a fun project! Interesting work by the previous owners. The nylon rod mounts for attaching a fan to a radiator are available separately. Looks like they put bolts through the core on a radiator that is no longer available. I'm glad they didn't finish it with the fuel line through the passenger compartment.

That fuel line was one of the first things to go! That raidator has been replaced and new puller fan located behind. It took quite a bit of effort to model and have a raidator built to fit, but I think it was well worth it. The shrouded puller fan should be more efficient also.
