Default Radiator

I like the idea of a modern radiator and fan.
In my opinion, if it can't be seen and does the job better then why not.
Have you the details of fan and radiator please?? Or what thread was it in?
Paul

Paul, kenlow do a good fan. I can recommend a company called Pro Alloy for a modern rad (my last carrier had one) I donated a wrecked original as a pattern and they made me a bespoke rad. Very efficient indeed !! So much so that when we were stuck In heavy traffic in 30 degree heat my carrier was rather hot (over 200deg) normally the flatty won't cool after you reach that temp, but I was able to bring the temp down whilst stationary by raising the rpm slightly.

I was also running thermostats.

Contact at pro alloy is Chris Hazel.

Cheers for that mate, I'm a long way off but just taking notes for when bits are needed.
