I have a DW fan on my BN2 and that will soon be switched to one
purchased from the Nocks. I have been disappointed in the fit and the
amount of
cooling provided by the DW fan.

I put the five-bladed plastic DW fan on my 100 several years ago to replace
a Moss six-blade, it seemed to be somewhat of an improvement, or at least for
a while. However last year I noticed that the blades had taken a set
forward and when I removed the fan and placed it on a flat surface the fan
rested
only on the tips with the hub about 3/4" off the surface.
I then installed the Nock steel flex which made a tremendous difference in
the car's ability to deal with traffic situations and knocked 5-10 degrees off
the operating temperature at all speeds. I did have to do a bit of grinding
on the mounting plate in order for it to go over the shoulder of the pulley
but no big deal.
