Relay added to circuit to protect the thermostat from the fan. Relay type Durite 0-727-12 used. |
Radiator moved from central position on side brackets to just 4 fixings (2 each side) at the front of the brackets. Support frame bent slightly to lean further forwards - new side panels needed (in fabrication - watch this space). |
Reconditioned radiator fitted with pre-installed thermostat. Brackets made to mount fan to side brackets between radiator and water pump - budget pull fan purchased from S.V.C. |
Wiring with fuse. Earth connected to bond at clutch housing. |
Bonnet just clears top of rad. New hoses sourced from suppliers on ebay - top hose - Nissan 180 (21501-U9600) shortened both ends and bottom hose - Vauxhall Victor (RH1142). |
Just enough room with viscous fan removed. |
Wiring diagram used on my car, could split live wires with 2 fuses and have the thermostat side to a switched power from ignition. |
