cient, but good enuf.

Simon, When I installed two 10 inch Hayden fans on the front of the radiato=
r of my 100 I needed some extra space between the radiator and the cross br=
aces. They were already loose from the upper brace due to previous wear and=
tear so I bent them forward (in relation to the front of the car) at the b=
ase and re-landed them on a sheet metal angle piece that I had fabricated a=
ndspot welded to the front of the top brace. That gave, in this case, an ex=
tra 1" of clearance which simplified installation of the radiator with the =
fans attached.[cid:807cd2dc-5561-495a-adbe-104ec14f3023]

Subject: [Healeys] Surgery to front cross braces.
I am having fifty thousand fits trying to install a Revotec pusher fan in m=
y 3000 MkII BT7 ie a fan that sits on the front of the radiator.
So?..I?ve got a Revotec kit. Decent powerful ?slimline? 14? fan and a pair =
of mounting brackets designed specifically for 3000s. (Plus a thermostat et=
c).
The brackets are very nicely made. ?Laser-cut?, I think they say. And the d=
estructions are well laid out and perfectly comprehensible.
But, not to put to fine a point on it, the bloody thing won?t fit.
It?s all too precise, all cut to the nearest millimetre with very little sc=
ope for fettling. They probably got a 3000 and designed everything precisel=
y per that particular car and supposed that 3000s would all be the same. (T=
o the nearest millimetre!!!) I must have had the radiator in and out half =
a dozen times. It?s not easy ? on my car at least ? without the fan. But, w=
ith the fan, it?s a real PITA.
I?ve got to the stage where I give up or attack the two cross pieces with a=
n angle grinder.
I?m referring to the two bits of angle-iron, referred to as braces I think,=
that are behind the radiator. They are, basically, ?L?-shaped with the hor=
izontal section nearest the grille and the flat going towards the radiator.=
I wonder if it?s imprudent to grind off about ? ? of both sides about 4? =
above where they intersect and about 1?? below.
See the attached. I?m thinking of grinding off everything contained within =
the black arrows.
I really can?t see an alternative but I?m holding off for now. Seems a tad =
drastic??
Really appreciate your input on this?
