One thing Rick didn't mention is weight savings. On a TR6, you're removing 6
- 1/2 lbs and replacing it with just 8 oz! I won't make any horsepower
increase assumptions but that is a lot of weight the engine doesn't have to
turn anymore.

Randall,

The kit is designed to eliminate the fan and fan extension when converting
to an electric fan.

After removal of the fan extension it will just slip onto the six bolts that
are already in place. No alterations to your car are required. The acorn
nuts, lock washers, and flat washers are all stainless steel. The new center
bolt is a grade 8 which is really overkill but a lot of Triumph owners
insist.

The kit includes the CNC billet aluminum hub, stainless acorn nuts and
washers, and grade 8 crank bolt with washers. Cost of the kit is $45 plus
shipping of $8 within the US.
