electric fan question

S my 5.0 · May 5th, 2011, 01:33 AM

Just picked up a contour duel electric fan at the junkyard the other day. But I was wondering how I mounted to the radiator? Thanks guys

zipties meant for mounting fans/tranny coolers to radiators. Just make sure the weight of the fan is resting on the core support and isnt on the actual zipties, theyre just there to keep it from moving

I used the old shroud mounting holes and hardware. They matched up perfectly to the mark VIII fan I pulled.

at one time i had an electric fan on my car, I had no clue what i was doing, i wired it to a toggle switch, they kept melting, so i agree dont do the toggle switch, its a fire hazard, need to do a relay or some thing

i was gonna use a couple relays and a off the shelf fan controller from the parts store i think i found an article where one of the mustang mags did it with pictures
