Electric Fan Size query.

Hey there people, can anyone tell me a model number or size of an electric fan to replace the visco fan. This fan currently measures 400mm tip to tip. This thing loves fan belts. The yoohoo belt size I got from you guys was way too big. Also tell what the best running water temp should be so that the thermostat comes in at the right time. The dude from South Africa, tell me were is a good place to get series one spares.

Flex-lite Black Magic 150. Do a forum search on black magic fan. Many of us have them. They have the CFM's ( 2300? IIRC )and the fit and tstat controlled as well. What more could you ask ?

The Mr.Gasket Fan lookz like my SPAL eletric Fan. I would not advise going with a cheap fan, if the fan goes and your car overs heats you will lose the motor just so you could save $30. Be sure to purchase a quality fan that will flow the most CFM, hook it to a thermo switch so it can turn off and on to a set temp. This way you dont have to worry about it any longer. Just my 2 centz

I did'nt show you the rest. It has a Flex a lite thermo control and yes it flows 2000 CFM per the manufacturer site. So now worries! I run the factory and Autometer temp gauges, so I keep a close look at it. I know its your 2 cents, but I already cashed them.
