Next up... Cooling.
Because of the compressor sticking out in front of the engine the stock cooling fan didn't fit anymore.
so there were 2 options...
1. make a spacer on the waterpump and bring the fan closer to the radiator.
There is room to spare so that wouldn't be a problem, but it would hang further off of the waterpump. which means more stress on the bearings.
2. electric fans
silent when not needed, pretty easy to install. But expensive.
Since I really liked the idea of them being silent when not on, I went with electirc fans.
So I ordered a Fan controller, and 2 Spal fans.
Mounted them with aluminium strips to the top and bottom of the radiator.
The controller next to the radiator, behind the compressor air dryer.
Fixed the leaking shifter axle seal on the transmission. threw in a new filter while at it.
Also found out why my shifter felt really loose, and sometimes fell out of gear when in reverse...
Are these common to break?
Threw the hood back on and took it for some drives over the weekend.
