#1 Fan options

Post by dlgis » Wed Apr 20, 2022 6:09 am

Hi all, my current (and soon to be binned) radiator has a Revotec fan attached to the front side of the rad, and therefore my car has no stone guard fitted to the bonnet. I’ve got the new Radtec ( Marston stylee) rad going in soon and would like to revert to a fan fitted to the backside so I can fit a stoneguard. What are the current recommendations for a good fan ? The name Coolcat seems to come up a lot but I’m not clear whether these are available from a UK supplier and ideally I’d like something that I can get hold of fairly sharpish.🤔
Thanks

I have the CoolCat fan on two of my cars.

Good cooling, fits without shroud modification.

A little fiddly to fit but cools well. Comes from the US but worth a week's wait.

I have the Coolcat fan on my 3.8. Works very well and is said to draw 7amps, about same as original early fan. No mods, bolts up
