I have an electric pusher fan and no crank fan. My electric is as wide as
the radiator
but overlaps the top tank an inch or so as it sits almost on the apron shelf
in front
of the radiator. If I lowered the shelf to unshroud the lower part of the
radiator
the fan could also sit lower. I didn't have and overheating problem before
and don't
have one now but I like to tinker.
