By all means take the shroud with you to the car parts store.
They've done a very nice job (Thanks Lothar!) with the gasketing - you should have two concentric foam rubber gaskets that fit inside the square opening. Remember that you can remore all or part of these gaskets to make the shroud fit.
You may also have to cut a notch or two at the top for hose/tube/barb clearance.
I got the pre-barbed heatercore from be cooling and the fit with the core was perfect - except I had to make the notches I mentioned above..
Lothar - what are chances of making these shrouds with larger-than-120mm fan openings? The panaflos I use all fair out to larger than this and it'd be nice to not have an obstruction in the airflow - probably only an issue on the "push" side and I'm set up for pull only so a non-issue for me...
