Also I was thinking, if my shroud has the mounting tabs 14in apart and my radiator mounting tabs are 13in apart, why not just cut 1in out if the shroud, plastic weld it back together, then mount it up using in the correct position.
I wouldn't cut up the shroud. I would either sell what you got and get the correct one, or get a small piece of flat stock and make a little bracket. If it's only an inch different.
