[TR] Electric fan for a TR4

[acekraut11 at aol.com]

 Brian,

I have an electric fan installed on my TR6.  I used the plastic pieces pushed
through the radiator and have had no problems over the last 4 years.  The
bottom of the fan sits on the bottom lip of the radiator so the only thing the
plastic pieces do is to hold the fan flush to the radiator.  That was an
easier solution than removing the radiator and having a bracket fabricated to
hold the fan.  I would recommend a straight on/off switch in addition to the
thermostatic switch.  It is a good fail safe in case the thermo switch decides
not to work and it is handy if you decide that you are going to be working on
the car while it is idling for a long period of time.

My two cents.

Aaron

Could the Listerati direct me to a good-quality electric fan for my TR4?

I'm planning to remove the mechanical fan and install Rick Patton's fan
eliminator kit, making room for an electric puller fan. I intend to control
the fan with an adjustable thermistat - or maybe a set on/off thermostat,
let's see what the options are.

If anyone has experience of a successful installation in their TR4 / 4A,
please lt me know.

I do not want to install the fan using the plastic lugs pushed through the
radiator vanes - and the same goes for the thermostat.

Thanks,

Brian Jones
