Cooling fan

I was going to update the cooling fan, possibly next year but the purchase of the Playskool ARB made that upgrade a necessity. The ARB install wanted to share the same space as the Sierra cooling fan location. The Ford cooling fan is big and heavy beast by modern standards at I doubt it is very efficient.

I purchased a 10" low profile suck part from Rally Design. It is spec'd at only 52mm in height. I had to make a new mounting plate and brackets. The brackets are the originals Westfield chassis bits elongated by 30mm.

Bolted it up, connected wiring and pipes all works well, job done. Water temperature gauge is reading wrong, needs investigating (sensor faulty?).
