Totally disagree with removing the mechanical fan, they are there to do the primary cooling of the engine and electric fans are fitted as a supplement when sitting a traffic lights etc etc when there is not the airflow to sufficiently cool the engine.
nitrosavy I installed a 12" electric fan on my truck as a secondary cooling fan as to supplement extra cooling when just the ac is on for the exact same reason as my belt drive fan allowed my truck to hit 240° or more sitting in traffic. After installing the electric fan 200° has been the highest . So I agree no need to remove a belt drive clutch fan when adding an extra fan.
I`m thinking about the idea of put an electric fan to a car that`s does have an mechanical fan to cool the condenser. That`s to save some gas when the car is in stop motion. I notice that when the car is stop and the ac is on, it keeps accelerating at intervals in order to keeps the temperature cool inside. I what to know if it`s posible to adapt an electric fan that turns on and off by itself since the car is stoped and desconect it to the motor cistem to save gas. If some buddy have had is good to know the results if it`s worked.
You need to let the consumer know that this fan does not fit any of the MG Midgets. It is too tall for the radiator. You should also state that on your web-site page.
I have a 78 midget in Florida. I find that at a stop my temp gauge will creep up a bit. Would installing one of these help, or might there be a different problem? Also, what would the removal of the mechanical fan require?
+georules, I have mg midget 1977 in my garage, all you need is a socket and a ratchet or combination wrench. I forgot the size but if you can text me your phone no. tomorrow I will check the size...my cel no. is 1-415-606-2234..it was year ago I noticed but I wonder if somebody ever help you. if not, text me you cel. no....
I'm not too impressed with this kit. You state "the kit has everything you need for a complete installation", however if your car does not have air conditioning to connect the green wire to, the instructions state you have to have a manual override switch that isn't included, and no indication as to what that might actually be. There is also a plug on the fan wires, which you will have to cut off because a connecting plug isn't included (the fan in the video doesn't have the plug). You'll need to install your own connectors on that of course. Then in order to connect the fan to ground, you'll need your own wire and connectors to do that because the fan wires are only about a foot long, and you'll have to guess which fan wire (red or blue) to connect to ground because the relay instructions refer you to the fan instructions, which don't state which one should go to ground (probably because the plug you just cut off would normally prevent you from doing it wrong. 50/50 chance of getting it right I guess. It has a fat blue wire coming out of the relay for multi-fan set ups. That looks really tidy for single fan set-ups, so I guess I'll just cut that off too. None of these things is particularly problematic if you have basic wiring bits, and are confident enough to guess what kind of "manual override switch" you need in lieu of an A/C clutch switch. But it could certainly be better.
schmood1971 However, to Moss' credit, their tech support was very good and stated that the green wire could simply be cut off if your car does not have A/C, and it will function as required.
You could describe paint drying and i would still want to listen lol great vid

Seems weird to only use an electrical fan only as a supplement and not the primary when it can be made to do so

Thanks for the Great video

Do you have a fan that fits 2007 yamaha rhino 660
Will this work with a Positive ground car? (Early TR4)
where can i get a snap switch by itself
