Denny,

Could you send me a picture of the fan setup?  I only have the mechanical
fan that is on the engine.  I would like to see what the electric fan setup
looks like in action.

Thanks,
Robert

Robert,

I have an X Texas 79 MGB in Michigan and it also has A/C.  Mine still has
the electric fans and they installed another manual fan on the front of the
engine.  They then ran a shroud from the radiator to this other fan.  I
don't know if yours has a similar set-up but this seems to work OK on mine.
