My 100 ran hot, not on the road, but when I got stuck in traffic. So I switched
over to an aluminum radiator from Wizard Cooling. (NFI). Then I got the
stainless steel fan from British Car Specialists in Stockton. (NFI)? I made the
system an enclosed system by installing an overflow tank I got from Charlie
Hart. (NFI) And finally I put a marine bilge fan next to the radiator with an
on/off switch under my dash that blows cold air directly on the front float
bowl because without a heat shield, the front carburetor was vapor locking. All
bolt on operations with no drilling, an extra power wire and a simple
installation of the overflow tank for the radiator.?
? ? A few weeks ago I got stuck in LA? traffic on the 405 going up and over the
Mulholland Pass. The car got up to 212, but no vapor lock, ran smooth and made
it over the hill and down into the Santa Monica side and the temp came down to
180. Best additions I made to my car, period.
? ? I still have all the stock elements, I can unbolt and re-bolt everything in
an afternoon if I choose, but I choose to drive my car and I never know what
situation I'm going to get stuck in, so I made the mods and haven't looked
back. And by the way, the temp gauge does not stop at the 230 mark, it will
continue past there and climb up into the oil pressure side. But that's another
story.
? ? Good luck,

Moss is having a sale on right now and I can get a 6 bladed metal fan marked
down from $130 to $104.? Moss's version of the Texas Cooler fan is $85, but my
BN2 needs an adapter that costs another 85 bucks.? I live in Southern
California and it can get hot out here.? Should I just go with the $103 fan or
is there a fan available from another source that is cheaper.? I tried the
archives, but there is no search function.
