Im a dumbass...

I get my engine all nice and mumbely jumbeley and I go to put the new big bad *** fluidyne rad in.. and well, theres no mounting brackets for my AC.. and I gotta have AC cuz all the girls complain about having the windows down is too loud with the Tanabe.. and Its too sunny, I like the tint.... soooo tomrrow Im making custom brackets for the ac and welding them on the rad..

Ill have pics up tomrrow, if anyone did the same, post them up! OR just post up the rad pics!

 

i just used one fan. didnt hurt anything and i use my a/c from time to time.

 

But using the AC with no fan.. won't that screw up your ****?

 

No, it will just be not as cold and waste more power.

 

Are you guys talking about the radiator fans? I was looking at a fluidyne radiator with FAL thins fans, will I be able to use my A/C?

 

The reason there is no mounting brackets is because you cannot use the stock fan for the air condensor. You have to but a thinner fan due clearance issues of the thicker fluidyne radiator. You can either buy a FAL fan or you can purchase a fan from fluidyne which you attach to the radiator w/ zipties that go though the radiator...so no mounting brackets needed.

So before you try welding new brackets to mount the stock AC fan, first make sure it will clear the header. If it doesn't fit look for thinner alternatives like the FAL or the one from Fluidyne.

Look here to see how you mount the fluidyne w/out the brackets.

Thats why if you get a C&R, they provide you with a SPAL fan, spins faster and is much thinner.

 

It still works mint and the temp gauge has never gone over half even ona hot day!

 

C&R
Free included SPAL 1000cfm fan

 

I thought Fluidyne also includes a 11" fan?

 

since I'm 2 miles from the beach and never use my a/c I ditched it when I installed my C&R last week.

Nice welding job.
