I have put in an electrical fan on my 78 Spit as a puller. To do this
I had to make up some brackets to mount the fan. The only thing I didn't
do yet is putting in a thermal switch to turn the fan on and off. I just
wired a switch in to the cockpit so I can turn it on and off.
The only problem is I can hardly hear the electric fan when it is on and
I sometimes forget to turn it off. Here are some pictures of my conversion.
