Ha! I wish! It's one of these with the oxy turned up ;D I'm hoping to learn to braze etc.

I may just see how the coolant temperature gets in the hottest days of summer then, if the current temperatures aren't toooooooo much to worry about

Chris, did you get a plasma cutter for Christmas?  ;D

Plenty of fans like this:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/12-inch-Genuine-SPAL-engine-cooling-fan-not-copy-/280678067654?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4159b76dc6

Available at cheap prices, from memory mine's 9" (my nob's much smaller), that does a fine job (the fan), but I've got an ally rad, so not really fair.


sorry to jump on this, but is this pretty much a straight swap yoof or do you need some modding??

Jake you'll need to sort the electrical connection and the fan mounts, other than that it plain sailing  :)
