[Healeys] Radiator - fan crack

Not to reash old issues but it was said that the Texas cooler flexed over time
and would hit the radiator.   The feedback on that was that that the engine
and trany mounts may be worn and allowed the drive units to shift forward just
enough to allow the fan to rub the radiator. 
 
I am a proud owner of one of the original units ( not Moss) and have had no
problems.  All my
mountings were new at restoration time.

Texas coolers are one piece plastic.
Anyone have a failure story to share about them?
