(plus two extra bends for mounting on the sides) I then cut the hole and mounted my electric fan directly to this , I have it on an automatic temp. controled switch and it never gets above 185 degrees . No fan on the waterpump .I polished the aluminum with some "mothers" polish - looks and works great ! | | | | | Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 182 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 182 | Yea, it's either search the junk yards or make my own...simular to the pan you made (got a picture?) I am running a flex fan on the pump so I want the "pan" deep enough to 'swallow' the fan.
They sell an ABS plastic 'pan' that is generic and you cut your own hole...they want up to $75.00 for this piece of plastic! Then you gotta make your own mounting. I refuse.
I'm still looking at everything I see that I might be able to make it out of...but I may wind up trying to bend up a piece of sheet metal.
Thanks for the input... :rolleyes: | | |
