Psh or pull the air?

[LAMBRETTLAD]

Hi I bought a 14" bad boy fan kit last weekend ,and it's reversible so do i push the air into the rad or pull air through it?

anybody fitted one of these?

(It only fits afore the rad )

cheers Alex

If it fits on the grill side of the rad you want it to push the air through in the direction of the natural airflow.

I have been looking at these do they look good quality as they are a much cheaper alternative to kenlowes . Did you get the thermostat sensor . If you dont mind me asking what was the cost and any chance of some photos of you fitting it.

all the best

Hi Michael
Kit cost £30 at the show for fan thermostatic switch+ fitting kit.
I might buy a better sender if i get any leaks ( i used the same on an MGB and it was ok ).I just get air lock paranoia

It's a fair way down a long list of jobs ,but I will post pictures .

It's way down my list of jobs too . £30 was a good price . Worth having for extra piece of mind.
Look forward to the eventual pictures so I won't have to use my brain too much.

The argument for and against will go no forever but I'm not convinced by lecy fans at all.

Did bad boy at the show say the 14 inch was right for the stag as I think I will order one tonight.

I'm keeping the v fan this is for peace of mind, for long summer runs to Cornwall ,in fantastic weather ,in heavy traffic over Dartmoor ,just like 1976 !

14 Inches is good

[michael]

Thanks for that , 1976 lovely summer very hot I had a Herald then I think the roof was held on with 4 bolts , took them out instant convertible but without a hood .Think the convertibles had extra strengthening but I was young and didn't worry about trivial things like that ,and it didn't rain for weeks fantastic.
