Kenlowe Fan
Hi all,
I have bought a Kenlowe fan to fit to my Morris Radiator on the engine side so it is a suck through fan. Has anyone else fitted one and did you have to fit it off centre towards the passenger side of the car as when I looked at it yesterday if I fit it owards the drivers side or in the centre there doesn't seem to be a lot of room. It is either very close to the water pump or access to adjust the fan belt would be tight unless I am missing something.
The fan is 9in wide and 2in deep.
Thanks Jeff

I managed to fit my Kenowe between the grille and the rad:-

a bit of a tight fit (I even had to take the end off the bonnet catch!) but it does still leave a bit of room in front of the engine (sidevalve)

I have just fitted a Revotec fan of simular size to the Kenlow. It definately
fits better on the passenger side. If you use the pull through fixing be very carefull how you pull them through the Rad. I managed to ruin my radiator. I was lazy and tried to pull them through with the Rad in place which rubbed on the water ways which after inspection are very thin like fag paper.<br><br>

Hi Jeff I would not reccomend fitting the fan in front of the radiator My pick up has it this way and I had to cut a notch in the cross bars to clear the fan housing. I did some research on the web with different makes of fans before fitting one to my 4 door saloon and the info suggests that, the fan isnt as efficient pushing through the rad even if it was designed for pushing the air

Re: Kenlowe Fan
If you have the Revotec fan fitted with thermostatic control you do not need to have the fan blades fitted.
Re: Kenlowe Fan
I do thought of buying revotec fan. Dint know we have to remove the original fan...
