You can find us in the pits and staging lanes.
Mine is a ZenithBlau 67 with a Beige left rear fender.
I'll likely be running in the pro class this year. My car can run in the 13ings. 
So I'll likely get moved over to the right side of the staging lanes.

For the sake of future readers, here's how dual Dells on CB manifolds work with the Cooled shroud. I love the fit, carbs have enough space to install in the engine bay and when bolted down aren't contacting the shroud at all. The pics make it look like the carbs are closer than they are in reality.

Correct. However, I never said there was a problem with the shroud as you are alluding to, only that “I wish they would make a version that fits type 1 manifolds”, corrected to read type 3. |
They made a copy of the OE shroud. It's safe to assume you'd have the same problem with a OE shroud.

Look at the picture i posted and you can see the top of the manifold is much higher.
Here's an old pic of a standard Type 1 manifold with a ruler.

They were the type 1 shorter manifolds from CB. But the gene berg manifolds didn’t fit either. Manifold flanges and carb linkage would have hit the edge of the shroud.

Not sure what your problem was. Here's their fan shroud, with fresh air, and CB manifolds.
The shroud is the same dimensions of the stock one and i've had both Dellorto and 48 IDAs with no problem.

EDIT: figured out the interference, it was the inner flaps hitting the cylinder fins. Which makes sense since the barrels are larger.
I’m mocking up my build using the cooled fan shroud with the type 4 cooler. I’m also running the stock thermostat flaps. What linkage rod are those of you running this setup using? I’m using a 75-79 linkage and so far it’s pretty tight with the base of the cooler. I’m worried it might interfere when everything is buttoned up.
Was there any modification of the linkage needed on your setups or is there another version of the linkage that works better?

I installed one on a 2017 in a 66 Bus. Fit and finish is equal to OEM. Flaps, linkage and thermostat fit just like stock.
