Grant,
14"? How do you fit it with standard rad? I have a 2lt Cortina rad in shed which only differs in side straps and by my measurements I couldnt fit a 14" so thats why I went 13" on mine.

Its a bee's diick but are you going to have it over hang slightly from core?

Also Grant.........running a thermo fan? Hehe what's wrong with an engine fan? Are you going to trust an electronic device? [:x)] I see you already have the temp switch connected.

Rhys

yeh i did a dodgey brothers measurement, said 14", thermo fan new $32 can't complain. i will make it fit modify brackets or make adaptor.

came with thermostat and mounting gear too

that switch was from my old fan, but stuffing up so the fuse is out it just sits there at the moment. plus old fan is only small just half the radiator.
this thing should cool it, does 2000rpm or something i turned it on holding onto it and nearly took off [(#)]

Yeh, i know i said that but all new cars are run like this, plus with no shroud its useless stopped for a long time, overheated in mcdonalds drivethru of all places, not the peak hour traffic oh no freaking mcdonalds 20m drive thru [:(!] might control it from megasquirt yet.

plus i want to shorten the alt belt to get it away from things

Might as well

See Rhys, told you that 14" would fit [:u][:u][:u][:u][:u]

andrew, you know what's involved to get MS running the thermo i haven't looked into it, the sensor ive got now is starting to piss me off.

Looking good Grant.
The Hot rodders use the pinky rule,If you can pass your finger through a gap(Rad/fan)you should be right for clearance.
You sound ready for a Cruise[%]

Good stuff Grant, I had to run mine on opposite side of radiator for clearance issues. Think yours may be a little thinner also.
