Decided to replace the belt driven fan for an electric one , I got a fan and off ebay and fitted it yesterday.
I had intended to make up some brackets and fit close as possible to the radiator upper brackets were no problem but struggled to fabricate one at the bottom so I resorted to using the plastic cable kit that came with the fan and fitted it directly onto the rad .
Never been happy using this method and in the past I've made brackets to avoid contact with the rad but I will have to keep an eye on the rad .
I removed the original fan and put new one on front of rad as it would not fit behind due to the long nose pump on my car . I'm waiting for a thermostat controller so at the moment it works on a manual switch via a relay .
I also replaced the delay wiper pipe to the delay switch on the steering column and now my delay is between 7 to 2 seconds so the od pipe must have been leaking .
