early fan on a 27 engine

Post by Waldo » Sun Sep 10, 2023 6:00 pm

I have not run a fan on my car ever. No problems with overheating with a Berg radiator. I have a 27 engine in my 21. However I picked up an earlier fan, that mounts on the engine not the water outlet. has anybody done this and found a way to adjust the fan belt tension, other than to replace the front cover?

Would be better if you re-ask your question on the main forum.
If the fan mounting arm is the later straight style, no it really should not matter. The radiators were the same size from 1924 to 1926.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:
