Build Day 8: Radiator fan

The aluminium radiator and oil cooler are a combined unit and come pre-assembled and very carefully packaged. Installation requires four rubber bobbins and two lowering brackets. The lowering brackets fit on the top chassis mounts and ensure the mounting points all line up. It is a simple job to fasten everything together.

Radiator Fan: The radiator fan is supplied separately and again is easy to install onto the front of the radiator. There are only two points to note:

  • The flat edges must align with the top and bottom of the radiator
  • The four plastic fan mounts (found in the ‘cooling pack’) must be pushed into fan itself before installation – these required a little persuasion with my nylon deadblow hammer and some silicone lubricant
