- Stay with the electric. I have a '63 B with the motor-driven variety which is fine at speed but _just_ not quite enough at idle during midsummer. I had a '76 with the dual electric fans and never had

- I went through lots of trial and error till I got the B to not 'overheat'. In the process, I got a 14" fan from the local discount parts store for $80 (when each OEM fan motor goes for about $70). Pu

- The twin fans are not too functional (I own an 80) and I would consider it a downgrade from your stock setup. Checkout installing a large generic electric fan which mounts directly on the radiator. T

- Personally I would NOT bother withe the original twin electric fan setup on the MGB. Firstly they are on the wrong side of the radiator Seconadly they do not have a proper shroud. Ideally you want an
