Scott,
The electric fan has worked well for me for several years. I used a
"Flex-a-lite" M10/20 electric fan, which was available at Canadian Tire.
This particular model came without a thermostat & activating switch, so
I installed a manual switch, & turn it on when temp dictates. This has
served me well, even in parades or the thirty miles in second gear at
our British Car Toy Run event.
The 2 row radiator conversion also works well, as mentioned in another
post, so I've been told by the Mog owners who have had it done at the
Canadian Morgan dealer.
Cheers!
