[Tigers] Cooling Fan

[David Sosna]

Hi Joe:

Semi-unrelated answer:  Have you thought about fabricating a fiberglass 
full fan shroud?  Also, cudgeling my memory, I seem to recall that the 
Tiger tended to suck hot air from the engine compartment forward, 
creating a hot-air loop back through the radiator.  Don't know if the 
full fan shroud would prevent this, but I was reading a book by Dennis 
Ortenburger about Frank Costin, who often used fully ducted radiators in 
his designs.  I apologize that I've no idea how to accomplish that 
ducting on a Tiger, though I suspect one or both of the solutions would 
benefit the Tiger's cooling at low speeds.

If it isn't too much trouble, would you please keep us updated with your 
solutions and their effectiveness?  My Tiger is long gone, but my 
interest remains. 😁

Good luck to you and Best Regards

David Sosna
