Hello Phil,

The fan (I think 12 inch or so) and adjustable thermostat came from
BritVic.  The fan is mounted on the front of the radiator, and supplements
the belt-driven fan, which I did not remove.  It cycles on and off only
when needed, and certainly solved my overheating problem.  Water
temperature never exceeds 185 degrees, regardless of hot weather driving
conditions.

Regards,

Sumner
