The viscous fan still seems to work but as it is a bit bulky and also as I have a water pump without the viscous thread I designed a Fan mod kit as per This Link and also the alternator adjuster bar.Sent design to be laser cut.
Now I have so many things I want to design and cut!
- Engine lifting eyes
- Electric fuel pump Bracket
- Thermostat spacer..
The little ring aligns the water pump pulley
The Alternator bracket looks Ok, Once in the engine bay I can adjust the overall length (if required) by the addition of extra bolt hole at the engine end.
and with fan fitted...At the moment the fan just skims the steering pump pulley so I either need a two row pulley or trim off the third pulley in Russell's lathe.
The Fan offset will be determined once engine is installed, to ensure it is close to the radiator but with the engine as far forward as possible.
And of course - how does it fit with the radiator - is it too big.. too small..
and then the thermostat housing also needs to be considered, it's pointing down so will clash with the crossmember.
Just noticed - the fan belt on the first pulley row will foul the thermostat housing, the second pulley row is Ok. Fan update here
just sent radiator away for modification
