Have a spare one with cowling at home if any use for a 350, failing that fit a kenlowe or equivalent

The original single fan was a Davies Craig 12inch.

I have just replaced this with a Davies Craig 14 inch fan which fits straight onto the rediator cowl when the old one is removed

They are available by Mail order from www.thinkauto.co.uk and there reference is DCSL 14. £68 plus vat.

I went for this rather than a kenlowe due too the depth being only 40mm on it rather than the 75mm of a Kenlowe. I did hope that the thinner one would completely miss the bonnet, but I did have to trim a bit off the top of the shroud to get it in. The air flow through the two types are very similar and much better than the original.

Very easy to recondition the original. Did this on my 350i. Cost about £4 for new bearings.

I should go for rbfisher's solution, because it saves you money you can spend on your favorite waste of time: fiddling with jerrycans:
