6 blade fan on 1725 2/9/99
Does anyone have a early Alpine fan (Six blade) on a 1725 engine? I am 99%
sure it is a bolt on conversion but before I sell one to Scott I would like to
be sure. Thank you. Tom
P. S. the pulley is seperate from the fan. >>
On the way to SUNI II, I threw a blade off a four-blader on my Series V - the
second in two years - thru exactly the same spot in the bonnet. I was able to
contact an Alpine owner in the next town who had an extra six blade from his
Series II. It fit perfectly and has been on the car ever since.
BTW, a column in the latest issue of the "Horn" ("Not Going Holbay") claims
that switching to an electric fan will get me an extra 9 bhp (!!), which the
author claims is a conservative estimate. Any comments? Jarrid?
