Actually, the car already has a PO installed electric fan, in the front,
not the back. Haven't checked to see it there's room to take off the
blades, and move the fan to the rear of the rad, but I've thought about
it. It just makes me a little nervous to run the car, with its
propensity for heat, with just the fan. I think I would want to hook up
an audio alert to the temperature sensor, so that in case I was out on a
95 degree day, and the fan shorted out, at least I would get a clear
warning of the situation, in case I didn't happen to be watching the
temp gauge like a hawk. Anyone done THIS?
