The dimensions for the pulley hub in the Rootes manual are wrong for
the Tiger.
260 = 4.875"
289 = 5.1"
These are the correct numbers for stock Tigers; source TE/AE Sunbeam
Survivor. Mainly you have to line up all the pulleys with the crank
pulley so the belt does not jump or run at an angle. If you can put a shim
in and still get the fan centered on the hub OK and it get your pulley lined
up with the crank pulley then it should be alright.
The number of things you do to help cooling is up to you. I have
just a 6 blade fan and a 180 thermostat on my 260 and it run fine. I would
do one thing at a time and then test the results, every Tiger is different.

Lots of cooling info today, thanks, but more ? What is the best product to
disolve rust in the cooling system? The radiator doesn't appear to be
plugged. I purchased a water pump some time ago, but the pulley strikes the
housing. It has a casting # C80E-D, and is just over 5" pulley hub face to
pump housing plate. I modified a Ford pulley stamping #ElDE-8509-AA (it's
just under 5" dia.), & a 6 blade Ford fan stamping #CF-C9DE-A on the blades.
The Rootes manual lists 2 pumps a 5.15" for the 260, and a 5.43" for the
289. Is there anything wrong with shimming the pulley out .028" to use my
pump? The last ?- I enameled my radiator yesterday before reading about the
radiator paint. Should I try to remove the paint while it's fresh? I have
the stock shroud, plan to block areas under radiator and by horns, fabricate
an air dam, and replace the 160 thermo. with a 180 degree unit in an effort
to cool. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks, Wes.
