There has been a lot of recent discussion about fitting an electric fan in
TR3/4s to correct overheating problems, but then needing to convert to an
alternator to handle the added load prompted. There is an alternative.
About 10 years ago I had a heavy-duty core installed in my TR4 radiator (by
Glenn Gonzales, Gaithersburg, MD, NFI). Coupled with a yellow plastic fan
(TR250?), the car has never exhibited any hint of overheating, even in the dead
of summer in stop and go traffic. For my money its a preferred alternative to
the added complexity of an electric fan and associated support infrastructure.
Just my $0.02.
