Hey Guys,
Here's the design and setup that I did for the BN1/2 float bowl cooling
fan. It's been installed by Geoff Chrysler and BN1 owners, Canadian Michael
Salter of the Concours Registry and British expat Simon Griffin of
Illinois. Simon told me that the results have been absolutely fantastic, no
more vapor lock, or fuel boiling in the float bowls.
Here the blog article from Geoff Chrysler [Rightway Heritage Trimming] on
his installation, #10 Install a Carburetor Cooling Fan...

Buy Revotec Alloy In-Line Blower Fans | Demon Tweeks
<https://www.demon-tweeks.com/us/revotec-alloy-in-line-blower-fans-991144/>
These fans are high quality, UK made and are specific for performance or
vintage automobiles. They are under $150 USD delivered to California. I
was going to wire the fan to my light panel under my dash with a toggle
switch, however Geoff came up with a simple and elegant
alternative... power is easily supplied as Geoff describes from the
available side light connector just requiring a plug in to the side light
connector and a ground..
The 4" to 2-1/2" plastic adapter was ordered from Amazon, *"Powertec" *for
$8.99...

Basic HS physics/Bernoulli, reducing the diameter from 4" to 2-1/2"
increases the speed of the air, plus the adapter makes mounting a lot
easier. It can all be removed in minutes.
The hose was a quality OEM style, 100M cold air box, sturdy fabric type

Let me know what you think. I was going to supply, market and sell these as
a kit, but I'd most likely lose money on the project. They are easy enough
to build on your own.
