Re: Viscous coupling 140-160 74

posted by  someone claiming to be Martin on  Tue Oct 31 12:52 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Donīt try welding the parts together - there was a plastic fan on the late 140s and 240/B20 which will fit. I had the accident with the riveted steel fan on mine - only trashed the radiator before the blade stopped halfway inside the battery :-(

However, Iīd go for an electric fan. Quieter, more effective, feels better... Important: use a sensor mounted in the upper part of the radiator/hose. 85-88 degrees C start temperature will be ok, the more common 92-95 degree types wonīt start the fan before you can see the coolant steaming in front of you.
