Kenlowe or Pacet
I am in the process of changing my MGB twin fans to twin modern ones.
I appreciate a larger fan is more efficient but I do not want to modify any metalwork. I am looking to fit two 10" as a pair, pushing.
Which are better? The Kenlowe has a smaller depth but I think they would both fit.
Kenlowe go on about curved blades being better, but Pacet look to be a bit more professional.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Regards
Dave

2 things to look at
1) Volume of air they move
2) Current they draw
More air movement normally means more cooling So long as the air goes through the rad and does not escape around the sides etc
The current drawn - probably need to have them wired through relays and separate fuses - a single thermostat switch is probably not man enough for 2 fans -yes it will work for a while and then burn out when you need it most.
For safety aways wire in a dash switch to be able to turn them on in advance - you can see a traffic jam up ahead but the fans can't

Thanks Ian.
I have looked at the specs and they seem similar. I was hoping some one had used them and found which one was quieter etc.
I use a relay at the moment but I am sure it would be a good idea to run larger wires to seperate fuses. The 10" ones only use about 6A each.
I will add a dash switch and also a light so I can see when they are on.
