Why Fit or Replace an Electric fan? If your vehicle suffers from marginal cooling a more efficient replacement or additional fan will provide increased airflow to the radiator. If your vehicle retains the standard engine driven fan, as with most classics, upgrading to an electric fan will make the engine run more efficiently and liberate horsepower.
What Are SuperSlim Fans? SuperSlim is a range of 12v engine cooling fans from 9"dia to 16"dia with universal adapter brackets for ease of fitting. The fans may be either mounted in front of the radiator to blow or behind the radiator to pull dependent on the clearance available. The fans are factory set to pull air (sucker); if you wish to blow air (pusher) simply undo the center spindle nut & washer, remove and reverse the fan blades and refit. For optimum performance the largest fan that will fit should be used. The Fan kits are manufactured to OEM standards and are fitted with finger guards. Fans are very quiet running due to their modern multi-blade design. The kit as supplied can be wired through the original radiator switch as a replacement, alternatively a manual switch installed inside the vehicle can be used, or ideally a thermostatic controller.

- Every blade balanced before shipping
- Every fan load tested before shipping
What Size Do I Need? To judge what size fan is ideal, first consider whether you are going to mount it in front or behind the radiator, then measure the available space (which is many instances will be the width of the radiatior). The bigger the fan, the better as the more cooling is provided - the engine will not be overcooled as these should should operate in conjunction with a thermostatic controller so only power up as and when required. Please note that a 7" fan is too small to use as the main radiator cooling fan on any vehicle above 900cc - these are usefully employed as twins or in conjunction with the main fan or as heater/air conditioner blowers, or for mounting to an oil cooler. |
