Any ideas where i'd be able to find some cowling for the sj?

got an electric fan fitted but no cowling, just after an extra bit of cooling for when it gets/ if it ever gets hot outside

cheers steve

I doubt you'll ever need the extra cooling. I've been thinking about removing two blades from my fan to try and get the damn thing to heat up more.

hmmm, mine seems to heat up fairly well. only recently done the head gasket, it doesnt over heat, but goes up to bout half way on the guage.

just worried bout sittin in traffic or doin a long haul and it gettin too hot.

what would u suggest if anything?

cheers dude

I'm just using a 14" electric fan and it seems to keep my 16v cool enough on a standard SJ radiator

I was using a 10" fan with my 8v engine, and that had sort-of built in cowling.
Does it run all the time or is it connected via a thermostat?

its actually wired to a switch on the dash. not sure how big it is without measuring...

I think that halfway up the gauge is where it should normally sit...
but I've scrapped the regular temp gauge and got an aftermarket one.

Mine will start and warm up with the fan off. Takes roughly 3 minutes to get up to full temperature.
After that, the fan cuts in and out and keeps the temp at 90-95*C

ah fantastic, thank you very much dude. i do have an after market one fitted but the connestion has broke

yeah goes bout half way up. noticed my header tank was a lil low at lunch time, prob just an air lock after flushing and re filling the system the other day. but ill keep an eye on it!

prob just bein paranoid after the head gasket went a while ago lol

cheers for your help mate, very much appreciated!
