Moss is having a sale on right now and I can get a 6 bladed metal fan marked
down from $130 to $104.? Moss's version of the Texas Cooler fan is $85, but my
BN2 needs an adapter that costs another 85 bucks.? I live in Southern
California and it can get hot out here.? Should I just go with the $103 fan or
is there a fan available from another source that is cheaper.? I tried the
archives, but there is no search function.Mike MacLean

Mike, Look into Flex-A-Lite. I put one on my '67 BJ8 many years ago and haven't
had a problem with it. It is the flexable fiberglass type. I don't know if they
are available anymore in fiberglass but I see the flexable stainless steel ones
are out there. Just google Flex-A-Lite and see what comes up.

Install an electric fan controlled by a thermo switch. Cheaper and simple.

Hey Michael -
I can say for a fact that the 100 should never need auxiliary cooling.? It will
run cool under almost all circumstances.? If the car is getting hot, it means
your radiator need rodding, or if you're hot in the cockpit, you have bulkhead
gaps that need plugging.
If anything, jet hot coating the headers is a good thing to do, otherwise...
the car should not run hot.
Cheers,
Alan

I tried everything to keep my BJ7 cool. Engine rebuild, Texas cooler, electric
fan, oil cooler. Nothing worked until I had my radiator modified.? I had an
extra row added and like magic my baby runs cool under every condition. I now
have my stock four blade fan and nothing else, and unless you look very
carefully you can?t tell that the radiator was modified. The only problem was
?shoe horning? the modified radiator back into position.My 100 ran hot, not on
the road, but when I got stuck in traffic. So I switched over to an aluminum
radiator from Wizard Cooling. (NFI). Then I got the stainless steel fan from
British Car Specialists in Stockton. (NFI)? I made the system an enclosed
system by installing an overflow tank I got from Charlie Hart. (NFI) And
finally I put a marine bilge fan next to the radiator with an on/off switch
under my dash that blows cold air directly on the front float bowl because
without a heat shield, the front carburetor was vapor locking. All bolt on
operations with no drilling, an extra power wire and a simple installation of
the overflow tank for the radiator.
? ? A few weeks ago I got stuck in LA? traffic on the 405 going up and over the
Mulholland Pass. The car got up to 212, but no vapor lock, ran smooth and made
it over the hill and down into the Santa Monica side and the temp came down to
180. Best additions I made to my car, period.? ? I still have all the stock
elements, I can unbolt and re-bolt everything in an afternoon if I choose, but
I choose to drive my car and I never know what situation I'm going to get stuck
in, so I made the mods and haven't looked back. And by the way, the temp gauge
does not stop at the 230 mark, it will continue past there and climb up into
the oil pressure side. But that's another story.? ? Good luck,Steven

Now that I have newly recovered seats, I? would like to cover them with
something cooler than the vinyl. Has anyone found a cloth seat cover that fits
at BN 4 front seat?
