I was looking at putting a second radiator fan in the buggy and I noticed that if I used a second "stock" fan, I'd be hitting the front crank pulley with the fan housing

 

Is there room for a second fan in a stock EA-81 setup? or must you move something or mount it differently than a stock type mount? I thought I mounted the radiator the same distance away from the motor in the Buggy as the stock Hatch setup?

 

Any dual fan folks run into this?

82 SubaruHummer--wants dual fans

01 Forester--has dual fans

Might just have to go with a different fan. They make really low profile ones.

 

Have you looked at the EA82 electric fans? I *think* they are little more 'slim' than the EA81 electric fans. Might just be that little difference you need?

I'm using a fan off of an EA82 as a secondary on my '85 Brat. The 3 mounting spots on the fan lined right up with threaded spots on the rad and I just jumped the wires off the stock fan so it comes on with the thermo switch, works great.

You could also mount a pusher fan in front of the radiator. Summitracing.com has a wide selection of electric fans. I just ordered a fan and an adjustable controller for my car.

Use the fan off a EA81 that has A/C. Those fans are much thinner and bolt right up.

Killer,

 

That's what I was looking for!

 

Having had no A/C in the past, I had no idea about the fan.

 

....Now to find me a fan.......

 

Thanks,
