Hi chaps, in need of a better rad for the Wedge as I need to increase the cooling capacity by approx 50%.
So can anybody recommend a supplier who can build one to fit in the same place or can provide one off the shelf?
Thanks

I might have a few heat problems soon - so I took another route.. I kept the original 12 inch fan and moved it over and installed a hugh 14 inch curved fan blade electric fan - with a revotec adjustable controller.

if you want a cheap route fit a Escort cosworth one. as I've done in the RC. was told it was good for 500BHP.



if not if you send your to radtec they will make you a replica.

How do the width, height and thinkness of that compare to a standard rad Leigh?

Looks like he is saving weight by not having fans...

its the same width as a 400SE rad and thickness, but about 50mm lower in hight.
Will post dim's tomorrow.

The fans will go on once the real engine is fitted.
but the Tuscan's don't run fans, there not needed as such as long as you keep moving.

I don't think F1 car's run fans either.
