Swapping fans

Post by Jordi » Fri Jan 04, 2013 8:06 pm

Been offered a 1.6 8 valve.

No coil, alternator or starter but i can use 1.3 bits

No fan, it is as simple as redrilling my 1.3 fan isn't it?

Cheers

I'd use the opportunity to put an electric one on, then you can knock it off in water?

Water pump is the same therefore the original fan will bolt straight up!

I would recommend fitting a 1.6 rad :thumbup:
