so i purchased a low profile 12 inch thermo fan off ebay, to make space for my intercooler. It looks "ok".... nothing to special. the mounting instructions are what gets me, ive never seen any thing like it.

Basically they give you four long flexible "nylon bolts" they call it.... and tell you to leaver your radiator fins open with a screw driver and push these long nylon bolts directly through the radiator fins. and slip this plastic nut over the back of it to hold it in place. lol.... i dunno about you guys but it all sounds a bit suspect? any one heard of such a thing?

Hey Clint, use them if you want, but you don't have to.

I think I read you bought the HDI intercooler kit. It comes with brackets to fit the fan to the stock mounting points.

See what works for you!

cheers,

I was just stressed about how strong they would be last thing i want is for them to snap and then the fan ends up as some new undiscribed part of my susspension .

as for the thickness its about 60 mm but its kinda cone shappedwith the thickest part right in the middle of the dc fan motor (@ 60mm) and the outer edge being the thinest (@ 40mm) iether way im sure it will work as it will sit flush with the radiator. bigkevracer thanks mate ill sus those brackets out as well I think.

Sorry to bump an old thread but i have just ordered a HDI Intercooler and remembered seeing somewhere a link to thermo fans people used for the job.

From memory it was

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/High-Performance-Chrome-12inch-Thermo-Fan-Electric-Fan-120watt-12volt-12v-/261041810142?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cc74deade&_uhb=1

I assume any universal 12 inch will do the job but if people had one they preferred over another drop me a PM pls.

Cheers for any advice

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
