[TR] TR2/3 radiator mounting

Hi Fred b it has been awhile since seeing your name on the listb&   Are you
going to make it to Jekyll Island?



The tropical fan would perhaps be a better solution, but I havenbt seen one
from any of the usual suspects (even eBay) for some time.  Since I am looking
at an Oct 1 target dateb&

T/R4 "TROPICAL" FAN, has 6 high pitch blades, mounts just fine after enlarging
just one bolt hole about 1/32" and does a great job of cooling, best part is
it does not look out of place such as that @#$#@ ugly yellow fan  FT
