I spent all day last Saturday trying to install a Kenlowe fan for additional cooling. It was tough. We had to remove the radiator and all its constituent parts etc., the bonnet etc. We installed the fan at the front of the A/C condensor matrix. Unfortunately, after to-ing and fro-ing the parts around the little space all day we just couldn't get the fan the run because the fan motor was touching the ribs on the front grille. PLEASE anyone, some help??? | ||

Why on earth do you need more cooling on a 1974 Silver Shadow ? There has never been a cooling issue with these cars. Er, global warming I guess. | ||

I had the same concerns when i bought my SRH13249 because i live in central Queensland.I also tried to install a thermo fan with out any luck I just couldn't find one thin enough .But after reading this forum and learning that under bonnet temp's are high giving the impression that she is running hot. I convinced myself that it wasn't needed. the fluid capacity is large eg.oil,water. Maybe most it will do is help the air-con but I'm not sure about that too.I just made sure the cooling system is in tip-top condition radiator, thermostat, hoses etc Cheers | ||

RA Chapman in Melbourne has a scheme for fitting additional fans to Shadows. | ||

Guy/ I apologise. I had forgotten your name and the system does not warn of overseas members/owners. On the other hand you could ship the car to him - perhaps not!!! Let me know personally if you need more Cheers |
