My fans

[FFMan]

Strangely on my Griff 500 I have 1 radiator fan behind and a Kenlowe pusher on the front. Note sute why this has been done, perhaps to ease clearance to the pipe that runs across the back of the radiator (should that be there ?)

The Kenlowe drowned and has stopped working, so I either replace like with like, or put it back to standard.

What was the standard fan off and where might I get one ?

Not sure where to get a new fan from but I think it is a Spal fan. That one you have on the inside is an original. Looks like that pipe is not quite in the right place, it's following the right route but seems to run too close to the radiator. Might be something as simple as the rubber hoses being angled incorrectly. Don't have a picture I can show you of mine right now. Hopefully someone else will be able to put up Arcturus, otherwise I will take one this evening when I am at home.

I note that the hose from the bottom of your swirl pot (as shown in pic) exits above the chassis cross member as it heads towards front of car, whereas mine (Griff 500 pre-serp) exits below.

is this the cause of my lack of clearance behind the rad or are the pics from a different variation ?

My old pre serp.... You can see that both pipes go under the chassis rail..

Mine is a 1996 Serpentine so slightly different to yours I think. I have an expansion tank just behind the rad which I think isn't present on the pre-serp.

has any one got a shot of a pre-serp behind the rad please ?

Here you go.

Excuse the mess At least it'll give you an idea of a Pre-serp 94.

In answer to your original question "Where do I get a replacement fan"?
The answer is http://www.serckservicesmotorsport.co.uk who have all the original Spal fans for the Griff. in stock and whom I found to be the cheapest in the UK., there is a guy from Poland on e bay who is slightly cheaper but has some negative feed back; my straight blade fan for the 4.3 Griff. cost £84.72 inc. p&p and VAT.

The swear box while fitting it will pay for that
