Electric Fans
Posted: Sun Jul 18, 1999 9:41 pm
Has anyone on the list installed an electric radiator fan in their Elan?
I want to install one in my S2, but the only examples I've seen are Kenlowe
fans mounted in front of the radiator. This prevents the bonnet (hood) from
being opened properly, so if you want to get inside you have to physically
remove the boonet. This does not seem efficient.
I've thought of installing a 'pull' fan, but the thinnest I've found is 58mm
thick and the space between the radiator and the fan pulley is 53mm.
I've also thought about installing a small fan (or 2 of them) down in the
nose behind the grill and running ducting to the radiator.
Any ideas or experience? Surely those of you in CA or AZ have had to deal
with this problem!
Thanks for any help,
