Have the radiator re-cored with additional cores. I have done this on healey
as well as Morgan and TR radiators running in Las Vegas NV with significant
improvement in cooling. These re-cores are dead reliable in 115 degree
ambient temp (125+++ on the road at intersections).
Under no circumstances should you install an electric fan. The stock fan
moves significantly more air at idle than any electric fan I have seen.
Electric fans make nothing but noise. If you are moving away from a stock
condition (which you would be with the electric fan), The flex a lite fan
moves enough air at idle to make it difficult to shut the bonnet, doesn't add
additional components and complexity to your car (why add electrical equipment
to a british car!!!)

I f you still have your old radiator, have a new core put in with extra
cooling capacity and a 20mm metric threaded hole for a thermostaat
switch in a suitable place in the header tank. This for a possible
fitment of an electric fan. There are plenty of varying thermoswitches
to choose from in 20mm thread.
