Zer0 Rad Fan

[Andi]

Am I missing something?

As the fan seems to be.... I took the nose cone off and the fan is not fixed to anything, it just fell off

 

I would have thought brackets would have been fitted to these points (yellow arrows) but there seems like nothing ever has been.

It was all held in by the fan cowling lip tucking up into the radiator head a couple of mm.

Cable ties through the rad fins will fix it quickly ( thats generally what is supplied with "after market" fans ) -- or brackets need to be made.

4 BIG self tappers.....

[Guest zoomzoom]

just secure it with some cable ties and large washers through the radiator core ........ job done

[knights_templar]

that type hooks into the top and bottom rad core ends, usually stays put, but cable tie to be sure.

Andi, what are you doing even looking at your car.... The sun is not out yet! I think the fan has escaped as you left it all ne for so long. Shame about the Xmas pressie. Don't think welding to the rad will be a good idea.

Fitted mine with cable ties and large plastic washers.

Glad you have let your car see daylight this year........

Cheers PJ.

Mark B has left the correct link for you.

They are round, without sharp corners and most important only go through the fins once as one end has a fixed load spreader on.

Use with rubber washers on the rad end and you won't even damage the rad fins.

Looks like the fan was not originally made to fit that radiator, but these will do it.

You flash buggers; what's wrong with a bit of gaffer tape....

Before you go too far Andy, check the fan is blowing & not sucking; if the wrong way it will cancel out all your engines power.

[tractor]

probably a good time

new to get a rad that fan that PULLS AND fit it to the correct side OF the radiator

[Andi]

I've been out this morning and mounted it like Richards with some ally straps.

It ain't going nowhere

Andi.

 

Oh. ..Paul. your right the welder didn't work.

[Bob Tucker]

As Tractor says though Andi , that fan is designed to fit on the rear of the rad & suck air through it.

It is possible to wire it so it pushes air back through the rad,

but the blades will be working at much less than 100% efficiency.
