<html><body><div>I've since upgraded to a Wizard Aluminum fan with the fan built in, but before that I did install a basic electric fan. As Dave said, you don't want to use the zip ties they provide. Radiator shop told me they will chafe the internal water channels and spring a leak, so I installed aluminum strips across the radiator, screwing into the side brackets. Worked great.</div><div><img src="cid:1f82a6ef-bb9f-4f74-b112-1109a3ad26e9@icloud.com" class="_auto-scale " alt="RadiatorRepair-6web.jpg" title="RadiatorRepair-6web.jpg" style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px;" data-inline-image="true" data-mce-style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px;"></div><div class="x-apple-signature">Rye<br>PH: 530-FIND-RYE</div><div><br>On September 27, 2020 at 9:33 AM, DAVE HOGYE <dlhogye@comcast.net> wrote:<br><br></div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div class="msg-quote"><div class="_stretch"><span class="body-text-content">Puller fans with shroud mounting is most efficient, but that means removing the original fan. Front/push mounting can block normal flow. The cable tie attachment is quick and easy, but can cause eventual damage to the radiator. MGBs use a front mounted pusher fans with brackets. You might consider this type of arrangement. The MG auxiliary fans have a more classic look and might fit nicely with custom fabricated brackets. Cobras use a similar arrangement. I don't know how compatible this would be with the standard grill and opening of a TR2. I don't think there is room between the grill and radiator for a modern low profile fan. <br>I have a Griffin aluminum radiator with a puller fan and shroud, all purchased as a unit from Griffin. Not inexpensive at $700, but it's a quality setup. There are less expensive (cheaper) options. <br>Good luck,<br>Dave H.<br><blockquote type="cite" class="quoted-plain-text">On 09/27/2020 8:44 AM John Deluca <john-marie@sbcglobal.net> wrote:</blockquote><blockquote type="cite" class="quoted-plain-text"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite" class="quoted-plain-text"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite" class="quoted-plain-text">Listers,</blockquote><blockquote type="cite" class="quoted-plain-text">Looking for a recommendation for an electric fan for my TR2.
