Running temps, Australian 409
Hello Kevin,
The two new fans from Davis Craig are mounted close up to the radiator on
the front face.
None of the Bristol/Kenlowe shroud is fitted. The arrangement gives lot more
space and visibility/
I might be able to get some photos shortly. They were mounted on with with
alloy brackets made up locally. Standard option is to use the long thin
bolts that pass through the fins, but the gap on the Bristol rad is pretty
small.
The chap who offered to do my air con says he would be fitting them on the
engine side of the rad, but it would be no great job to get this changed if
I go to air con.
Before the rad clean out, the fan switch came in around the 85C mark, but
tended to cut in and out a lot. After the rad clean out, the fan switch
appeared to operate from cold! Therefore, I bought a new one from BCL. I
would say it comes in at 85-90. Car will rise to 90 if left to idle for
length of time, but not go above that.
BR
Mike
