Technical Install dual fans - radiator

[TSAF]

I think my fan got killed by the heat of the manifold ( I had removed the heat shield)
Now I am thinking to install the dual fans, but i don't think they fit.
The car has an aftermarket air-condition from diavia, and the tubes that come out from the compressor are to near to the radiator.
Has anyone got a picture of the oem compressor so i can see the distance?
Also do you know the dimentions of the dual fans...?

I'm sure I've got dual fans too...

Because you have after market air conditioning they don't tend to design it around a car with air conditioning which would have two fans, instead they design it around a car without air conditioning which only has a single fan. The twin fan set up will therefore not fit as it was never intended to.

That was regarding the Supersprint manifold and the proximity to the radiator fans...

How did they do the conversion? Any pics? Normally aircon retro fitting is a 5 star pig of a job and not for the faint hearted.

Hi TSAF. I have been using my Bee for the last 2 years without the heatshield and upto now my fans are fine...

My B is fitted with factory Air con and dual fans. Unfortunatly I cant take a pic at the moment as I'm on vacation in the UK but from memory I do not think a dual fan instalation would fit with your air con pipes as they are at the moment.

it looks my fan died... so now i'm looking to install new one. my barch is without aircon... will double fans fit? is that good or bad upgrade?

on images all looks same...

Need a new fan? I've got 3 spares
Only one with a good frame though

"Psssst! - Wanna buy a fan?"

 

[barch]

Double fans do fit.. seems like a good upgrade too

 

[bollie69]

Would like dual fans too. but they are pricy!

Hiya, I fitted the dual fans, an easy mod and work great.
If you look back through my project, its one of my early modifications.
