Thanks for your reply, but no overdrive

Great work and all the pictures will be good for future reference’s and should help give other owners the confidence to have a go themselves !

I didn’t use the electric fan in the end because I managed to get another original fan so the only thing I’ve changed is moving the radiator slightly forward for a bit more gap between it and the fan because I haven’t found anything wrong that cause the fan to hit the radiator !. The fans still...

Just fitted the bike rad today didn’t have time to get out in it so test drive tomorrow , have you fitted a truck heater then ?, any pictures would be interested in seeing what you have done ?

Ok I’ll get on with it at the weekend and let you know how it turns out

Thanks for your reply’s, I think I’m going to try it with just the new bike rad, disconnect the original heater hoses but leave them in and run two new hoses to the bike rad then if it doesn’t work out I can T into the heater hoses like you have. another thing does the water pump cope with the...

Hello everyone, I’ve been reading some old posts about adding an extra cooling radiator from a motorbike.

Only joking about the clekoes I bought some while doing mine like you said there’s limits on what jobs you can use them on but when you can there good, check out farm animal foot baths or similar for a full door soaker ??

The original fan got bent quite badly on Sunday when it attacked the radiator and I’d been thinking about fitting a electric one for a while, I’ll try to get another original fan in case I put it back standard again.

So I’ve ordered an electric fan kit with an adjustable thermostat switch is there an ideal temperature for it to kick in ??

Ok thanks

Well for some reason my fan attacked my radiator yesterday while out and about but couldn’t find anything loose when I removed the bits ???, time for an electric fan upgrade now !!

Thought I’d show some VW boys a proper van !!

Forgot to mention they can make them a little stronger if needed !!!

Don’t know where you are Hazel but I’ve recently used Midland Springs Colwick Notts, for a different project and they were great good prices and good turnaround

Yes really pleased especially how it drives

Well my dodge is back on the road after many years !, just got back from a good drive out without any problems and no rosé tinted glasses required the last time I owned / drove a commer was over 40 years ago and I loved it today. Thanks to everyone who has helped me with their advice and those...

Got to be better to have one, in that situation I suppose you could compare it with the garage one

Finally got out in the Dodge yesterday for a first descent run on returning home I hooked it up to a recently brought Gunson gas tester and after following the instructions it was reading 5% ! , so I adjusted the carb and it settled at just under 2.5% I did readjust after this picture to just...
