Nice installation vid. Thanks for posting. I have to take you to task on one point however. If you fit a 'pusher' as a puller fan (or vice versa) and reverse the wires to make it rotate in the other direction, you will probably find the brushes wear out quickly and a fan is only about 20% efficient in the wrong direction. It's because the blades are designed to be most efficient in the way they are intended to rotate.
great job as always... like the commentary as you go along. i thought a couple things as you were going along.... 1 is the length of the adjustable switch is probably that long so the switch can be inside the car instead of in the engine compartment. and 2 the placement of the sensor is facing the coolant flow.... maybe place it on the other end of the hose so sensor is inline with coolant flow.
Wow. I started watching your videos when one popped up on my feed. I subscribed when I discovered you pulled this thing apart and rebuilt it, and I needed to watch the whole lot. You've done a great job, and I particularly enjoy your problem-solving skills. Having done most of this work at some point on my own cars, I kept thinking to myself 'you need to do blah before blah', but I very quickly settled back to 'don't worry, he's got this', and sure enough, by the end of the video the problem is solved. Excellent work mate. On top of that-entertaining to boot. I could add that one is never really finished with these projects, but again I reckon you've figured that out 😉. There's always another gauge to add, or electric fan to install. Should I mention seat-heaters? Anyway, top job fella. Enjoy.
Nice simple retro fit , and cheap as chips . I will finally get round to starting mine in about a month when the shed turns up to put my motorbike in , will the have room to work round it . It will be months before I’m ready to do this but looks nice and simple. First thing is to try and get the engine running . The old girls been of the road 34 years. Should be fun 😁
Nice job 👍, for £39 I think I'll do the same. I've watched your series and you turned that car around quickly, I'm 3 years into mine and just about ready for paint. Hoping to be on the road next year.
Thanks :) the secret is just to do an hour or so every day. It quickly builds up. Mind you i didnt do a 'proper' restoration. More of a first-timer budget build! Car works ok though!
I like the installation of the fan, but I don't like how you mount it. I would have made a support myself instead of securing it with clamps through the radiator. Just to make sure the radiator can't break or damage. The price of that fan is great, i'm thinking of buy one myself. Thanks fot charing your videos.

Dont think it will make any difference its just a temp sensor, have mine fitted the same way as this its been working fine

Thanks for the kind words Ian! Appreciated

Good luck with it Alan. As you can tell by my 'garage', room was something i didn't have! :)
@@BritSpit 😂😂 I still don’t know how you managed to paint it in that space . Can’t wait to get going now
