So I got tired of my slim line fans just not cutting it, they're a joke compared to the oem fans. And the one closest to the turbo got to hot at some point. So I removed it but obviously then in hot weather and stop and go traffic, it was all the old girl could do to keep from over heating.
So I went looking through my stock parts, I found two fans, same fan, can't remember but I think it originally went on the drivers side. A/C? Anyway, it won't just drop in so I had to cut off the tabs and welded on some 1" angle iron...(SS sheet metal made into it) cool, got the holes close and bored them bigger than needed so I have done room for error. Washers can easily fix this. Anyway so onto what I'm doing today.
Here we ha e this little guy.
That 4th mounting point, that big leg I think will be a problem with my j pipe / LICP. So got to go.
Band saws make quick work of sheet metal.
Ah found this scrap piece near the shops CNC laser. Brushed stainless, almost the perfect size. I think it would make a great little heat shield for the motor...off to polish it for more reflectivity.
Love this thing. Though there's a roomer it ripped off someone's thumb years ago when a belt broke o. The grinding side.
Almost like a mirror. Now just to tack it on.
And tacked.
More to follow later.
