Electic fan ??

Hey peeps, been looking into electric fans, Noticed how expensive the kit ones are, but have heared of people running other car ones,

Any one want to elaborate a little, what modles, what mods required, Is it better on a switch or wired into a thermo switch ????

Cheers peeps

I have written a write-up on here. Use both a switch and a thermo switch.

Cheers bud, i have searched your name and fan but nowt just loads of threads with you letting people know about your thread but i cant find your thread

Halfway down the page is a pictorial and write up on the one I fitted to mine, cost me £15

E bay universal electric fan 16 inch 35.00 delivered
This is what i have on my s2 and have another ready to fit to the defender.
There are cheaper ones but the s2 one has been on for over a year, been very wet several times and still work so thats good enough for me.
The kenlowe kits are a rip off.
I just control mine with a switch and a relay, so cheap as chips.

This is mine
2ltr Frontara double fan , cut between the 2 fans with 3 rivets in the fan housing facing the floor that slot into the the cowling channel at the bottom of the rad .
The sides just clip into the folds of the rad + one bracket that you can see on the top right , wired up dead easy and works a treat .

Soz for late reply , yes i got the whole lot of him . it made doing the conversion a shed load easyer and quicker as its a case of straight fit ( you have to cut the 140 degree pipe tho ) and it all lines up really well .
Only thing to do is bash the N/S inner wing out to make more room for the 140 degree elbow coming out the turbo so it dont rub through over time .
