Hi Steve,

If you do decide to fit electric cooling fans, you might need to have a think about their positioning. I've spoken to people who fitted them to Triumph GT6 cars (the GT6 can overheat easily in hot conditions). The consensus was that a better result was gained by positioning the fan behind the radiator so that it drew in air rather than blew air through from the front. It was thought that this maximised the frontal area of the radiator rather than blocking it with fan motors etc. I know that most modern cars have the fan fitted in front of the radiator but the cooling requirements of modern cars seem to be quite different to the older cast iron blocks. Mind you, the cooling requirements of older Triumphs may be different as well!
