Overview
Simple and very compact shroud for your WindSim placing 120mm fans horizontal for dashboards with tight space. Shroud only is suitable for central fan, for L + R it has additional vent directing flow towards the driver. Has additional fins that clip into place for vertical flow adjust. As they are pretty thing I couldn't make them move together with some sort of mechanism so they are individually adjustable.
The blower shroud has wind tunnel cutting the backflow, using Noctua industrial PPC-3000 fans it is pretty strong, but far from what these fans are capable of. As it is pretty low (only 20 mm) I plan to extend it to 30-40mm which should give much better flow, but for a central fan I am pretty happy with it, only the side ones need to be a little bigger.
