    Default Davies Craig fans

    Hello im writting to you to ask you if i can put twin fans in to a holden vp radiator. if so how because i want to get a thermal kit and wire one fan as temperature and use the existing wiring to wire up another fan for aircon. what size could i go up to, would 2 10 inch fans be ok for that size radiator. if not what do i need and which way does the fans have to turn, do they have to blow air towards the radiator or do they have to blow air towards the engine and can i use AU of EF Twin thermo fans and modify them to fit a vp holden radiator and does it matter if a bit of the fan is hanging over the radiator. what's best. also would i be able to buy a big davis craig fan and use on its own and just plug it into the existing wiringi look foward to your reply

    i tried to use to 10 inch fans and they don't fit. well at lest i think they are 10. i will measure them. but i am pretty sure they are.i think the one i have on there at the moment is an 16 inch. i am not sure if i would get an 18 inch on there though.. unbolt the fan on it and measure the radiator. you will soon be able to tell.
    also you have to have the fan sucking the wind into the engine bay. as it would flow when you are driving. unless you are having trouble with overheating i wouldn't bother. the fans on there work really good and have a good shrowd (spelling) so it covers the hole radiator.
    i just wired mine into the existing wires.

    Twin thermos from an AU-BA-BF will fit (I have some from a BA). All you have to do is trim the shroud to clear the radiator hoses and your sweet.
