Mike, As a footnote I also put an electric fan in front of the radiator
controlled by a toggle switch in the cockpit. I used to live in the Miami area
and during the summer it was a furnace down there. I also tried an additional
pair of blades on the stock set of blades and I noticed the additional weight
affected the acceleration of the engine. Then I went to the Flex-A-Lite fan.

Mike, Look into Flex-A-Lite. I put one on my '67 BJ8 many years ago and haven't
had a problem with it. It is the flexible fiberglass type. I don't know if they
are available anymore in fiberglass but I see the flexible stainless steel ones
are out there. Just google Flex-A-Lite and see what comes up.

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.
