[Healeys] Texas Kooler

[Oudesluys]

Why bother with these half harted solutions and risk damage to your 
radiator or, even worse, your bonnet. Fit a thermo switch controlled 
electric fan fitted to the radiator shroud, not the core, and never look 
back. Cheap and easy to replace if needed. And it works when needed 
only. I have fitted them for donkey's years ( since the mid sixties) and 
never had any mishaps.
