Tb48 radiator fan shroud options in Gq

I've got a nissan patrol Gu tb48 engine fitted in my Gq patrol wagon. I'm looking for a radiator shroud to fit with little or no modifcation. TD42 and TB42 shroud have the fan in the middle, where as the TB48 has the fan offset to the drivers side. An rd28 shroud has the correct offset, but is to deep and fouls the engine by 90mm, I could cut it down to fit but there would not be much shroud left.
Before anyone suggests thermo fans, I don't want go this way, prefer the simple fool proof Viscous fan.
I've yet to try a rb30 shroud, was thinking maybe one from a gu could be tweaked to fit.
Any ideas what will fit or better still what you have used on yours.

Yep you are all over it standard 4.8 vis fan is the best for front mount radiator.I`ve got a alloy shroud you could copy if you want.I don`t want to sell it though I have a job for it.

Would be good to have someone elses to copy from. Saves me working it all out. Do you have a drawing ? I could get a copy of please. Or even a picture would be a good starting point.
