Why? At best you will save a couple of mouse-power, at worst it is
something else to fail which is something virtually impossible with the
mechanical fan. The mechanical fan *should* be perfectly adequate in all
normal conditions, these cars run in desert states without cooling problems
when everything else is as it should be. When the factory fitted electric
fans to the MGB people just got paranoid seeing the temp gauge rise above N
in traffic, which it should do. Some of those have fitted after-market
systems in place of the original electric with adjustable thermostatic
switches which they turn right down to keep the needle at N, which means the
fan and the thermostat are fighting each other.
My 2 penn'orth, with one of each.
