ive lifted my L-series wagon 3 inches and now the radiator hoses dont fit...what do you guys do to sort this problem out?

also becuase i have lifted...does the clutch fan still fit on properly? to me it looks like it would hit the bottom pannel...>?

cheers

the top one should still fit?
for 2" lift the bottom is off ...don't know...just got something that fit. use a piece of wire to roughly hold the dimensions required and go match at the store...

Yeah you'll need to buy new hoses, or at least modify the existing ones to fit. I modified an MY series hose for the bottom from memory.

I ditched the engine fan for twin electric thermofans.

can you use another l-series thermo fan?

I guess you can if there's enough room.

As far as the fans go , if you wanted to spend some dollars you can get a single fan from Davies Craig , they make some very good electric fans in all sorts of sizes.

In my experience, I've found the best fans to use are two MY-series Air Conditioning fans (ie the fan on the passenger side of the radiator on an MY-series).

You can also mount to normal MY fans (read big thermo fans) beside each other with a bit of play, works great for me up here in sunny Townsville.

ive got a spare l-series thermo fan laying around somewhere....anyone put another one of those beside the one already there?

work ok>? run fulltime>? kill switch>?

you'll have trouble trying to fit the same type of fan as the RHS.
I have another fan from the wrecker <$30 which is only about 35mm width - that fits easily. (fan diameter is about the same)

do u know what size thermo fan fits in where the mechanical fan was?

cheers

Article in Perth Street Car Magazine recently rated stock Ford Mondeo and AU Falcon themo fans (used with shroud) having the best air flow, even to aftermarket ones cheap and expensive. Interesting though, dont know what they go for in price.
