Scimher Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 We tend to forget that cars used to take a mile or two, to wam up...My late 64 Herald conv. with 1300 Dolomite engine & larger rad. has me working the choke for anything up to a couple of miles, depending on how cold it is...(used year round.)

lnpab17 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Hi, has anyone had any problems with the "universal" type fans clamping direcly onto the rad matrix?They are cheap & plentiful on ebay, but does the radiator stand up to it over time?Cheers, Peter.

Davemate Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 I fitted two flat bars across the rad then fitted the fan to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I broke my rad when I used them — but then perhaps it was old and was likely to break anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordleonusa Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 They should be fine, but don't use them on an aluminium radiator, no I didn't.Leon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
