Moss is having a sale on right now and I can get a 6 bladed metal fan marked down from $130 to $104. Moss's version of the Texas Cooler fan is $85, but my BN2 needs an adapter that costs another 85 bucks. I live in Southern California and it can get hot out here. Should I just go with the $103 fan or is there a fan available from another source that is cheaper. I tried the archives, but there is no search function.Mike MacLean

Mike, Look into Flex-A-Lite. I put one on my '67 BJ8 many years ago and haven't had a problem with it. It is the flexable fiberglass type. I don't know if they are available anymore in fiberglass but I see the flexable stainless steel ones are out there. Just google Flex-A-Lite and see what comes up.

Install an electric fan controlled by a thermo switch. Cheaper and simple. Kees Oudesluijs

Hey Michael -
I can say for a fact that the 100 should never need auxiliary cooling. It will run cool under almost all circumstances. If the car is getting hot, it means your radiator need rodding, or if you're hot in the cockpit, you have bulkhead gaps that need plugging.
If anything, jet hot coating the headers is a good thing to do, otherwise... the car should not run hot.
Cheers,
Alan

I tried everything to keep my BJ7 cool. Engine rebuild, Texas cooler, electric fan, oil cooler. Nothing worked until I had my radiator modified. I had an extra row added and like magic my baby runs cool under every condition. I now have my stock four blade fan and nothing else, and unless you look very carefully you can’t tell that the radiator was modified. The only problem was “shoe horning” the modified radiator back into position.My 100 ran hot, not on the road, but when I got stuck in traffic. So I switched over to an aluminum radiator from Wizard Cooling. (NFI). Then I got the stainless steel fan from British Car Specialists in Stockton. (NFI) I made the system an enclosed system by installing an overflow tank I got from Charlie Hart. (NFI) And finally I put a marine bilge fan next to the radiator with an on/off switch under my dash that blows cold air directly on the front float bowl because without a heat shield, the front carburetor was vapor locking. All bolt on operations with no drilling, an extra power wire and a simple installation of the overflow tank for the radiator.
A few weeks ago I got stuck in LA traffic on the 405 going up and over the Mulholland Pass. The car got up to 212, but no vapor lock, ran smooth and made it over the hill and down into the Santa Monica side and the temp came down to 180. Best additions I made to my car, period. I still have all the stock elements, I can unbolt and re-bolt everything in an afternoon if I choose, but I choose to drive my car and I never know what situation I'm going to get stuck in, so I made the mods and haven't looked back. And by the way, the temp gauge does not stop at the 230 mark, it will continue past there and climb up into the oil pressure side. But that's another story. Good luck,Steven KingsburyBN1 #598

Now that I have newly recovered seats, I would like to cover them with something cooler than the vinyl. Has anyone found a cloth seat cover that fits at BN 4 front seat?
