[TR] Looking for inspiration

[Geo Hahn]

When I used electric fans on the TR3 & 4 I mounted them this way:

Got some long screws:

Cut the heads off and bent them into an L:

Added bits of fuel line for padding:

And clamped the fan to the radiator using the supplied ears:

Had to be just the right sized fan and the holes in the ears had to be
ovalled just a bit:

By removing some the ribs on the fan cage I was even able to use the hand
crank:

Drove them like that for many years.
