Ordered a fan shroud off of eBay since I cut mine to fit the old Cold Case radiator, wanted one unmolested to fit the new Cold Case radiator.

But they put it in a box that was about 2" narrower than the plastic hangers that mount the shroud to the rad... The box looked perfect except for the big hole in the side right where one of those ears was.
Got the radiator out and realized that was cracked and broken right there so it must have gotten caught and or mishandled somehow.

Took a few days, but they fully refunded me and I ordered another one from them, hopefully better luck this time.
Also bought two brand new fan motors since one of my fan motors was making some squeaking noises when I had it out and spun by hand.

Can you see any cast mold markings that show the shroud material? I'm curious if there's any glass-fiber reinforcing for it.

I still have it, they didn't ask to return it...so there's still 2 good fan blades and 2 potentially good used fan motors...
I will look again, but I'm pretty sure it does have glass fibers from what I saw.

I took those pics last Saturday

these ebay junk yard sites pack so badly. I've gotten 3 different things for free over the years because they can't box stuff. free is nice and I made it work, but would have been happy to have what I ordered without it looking like it fell off a cliff

I ask because with some patience, sacrificial filler, a soldering iron, and maybe/probably/likely a respirator, you could fix that.

Wash everything, shipped from China..... They have no regulations when it comes to, chemical residue, on anything. ( especially cloth material )
