I've got a 12 volt switch all wired in ready to go so I think I will run them like you ran yours on the plymouth.
It is only ever a problem on a really hot day when I get stuck in traffic apart from that it doesn't overheat.

I will measure up tomorrow - hopefully I will have enough room for them!

blades of the engine fan

Mate you will be throwing out your engine fan.
Those electric fans are cheap. I paid nearly $100 each for mine with what looks like the same motor.
When installing you will have to cut away some of the finger guard to clear the motor.
I mounted them on a frame made up from 12mm rhs that bolted to the side rails of the radiator.

I'll take pics of the install. Thanks for the words chums - always a pleasure!

Yeah mate got them sorted found the flasher relay and replaced it this morning - $6.70

I was a fair way from home last night when I called you - had to indicate manually (on off on off on off on off....)
all the way home - it was actually pretty funny!

thats nothing bro.. i did that for 6 months once on my yellow van.. only thing was i hooked up a gas switch on/off/on left for left indicator right for right indicator. it was mounted in one of the holes in the bottom part of the steering wheel.. (you know how some sports steering wheels have holes in them on the support arms for the actual wheel)

only thing was it was always a juggle to keep switching it as you were turing the steering wheel to the left or right.. but a ball of fun.

lol

gday jock my 3 core was 600 so not cheap! but i had no choice really. they used the same radiator frame but put a 3 core centre in it. i think it was a 2 core v8 one originally. im interested to hear if your thermos work. there was def. no room in there on mine...

ben · « **Reply #17 on:** January 13, 2009, 09:30:46 PM »

just make soms space somehow and put a v8 one in out from a wreckers.. even try getting a 4 core! heck of a lot cheaper than 600!!

My 3 core cost me $250
took in my old radiator .......picked up a fresh 3 core

Will a V8 radiator taken out of a 253 be a 2 core radiator?
If so - what would the gain be in using one of them?
