Scottie22 is on a distinguished road
Default Tuesday morning

I took the small fan out of the car, and fitted the beefy one on steroids.

I was lucky to be able to use the brackets that were in place already, with a bit of twisting, re-drilling and so on, the cowling is in a good solid position, and the fan works well without fouling the sides etc.

I do admit, I feel much happier with such a robust unit in place.

As I said before, there never was an overheating problem anyway, but it is always nice to know that if you are stuck in heavy traffic during a heatwave,

The fan is going to whack the temperature down in a hurry when it kicks in.

My thanks to Landmannn, and Oxford for their constructive criticism, which is always welcome.

I also fitted both doors back on the car, and will now start the long tedious
and difficult task of shimming them up to fit as best I can.

I know how hard its going to be, because I spent an hour doing it first thing this morning and got so peed of with it, I left it, and did the fan fitting as that was easier!!

Oh well, its gotta be done...........

P.S. The bigger fan and cowling somehow makes the car look as though its got a giant turbine engine fitted!
