Homemade PS Pump Fan Scoop

A while back I read a thread where someone made and uploaded plans that made a power steering fan scoop out of a single sheet of sheet metal. Did anyone see it? I searched and can’t find it now.

I created extra protection using hardware store available material, but I dont know if this is what you are searching for

That looks more like a shield. The one I remember was made from one piece if sheet metal, bent and trimmed and would scoop more air into the fan. Hung about an inch lower below the fan.

So, your fluid/pump is getting too hot? What are the symptoms?
