SUCCESS! FOUND! WTB radiator for my 1970 S2

[BDA]

Congratulations!! It's nice that you got the fan with it!

It's hard to say for sure from the photos but it looks to me that the fan blades are set for sucking air rather than blowing.  If so, you may be able to flip the fan blade.  Otherwise replace it.

What happens if you reverse the polarity of the fan ? Does it go around the other way?

[jbcollier]

Yes it does.  However, fan blades have a curve to them that is used to "scoop" the air and force it in the required direction.  Running a fan blade backwards significantly reduces its efficiency: not a good thing on a Europa.

Where did you locate the supplier?

[Tilux]

I did not want to recommend the supplier until I installed and ran the radiator to ensure its compatibility and reliability.  Only then would I be prepared to endorse their product.

However, I have had other requests for the contact information so here it is -

Just to give you an idea of how closely David worked with me to ensure he was building the correct radiator, he sent me these photos, asking for the measurements from my original radiator.  As you can see he even wanted the size of the holes in the mounting tabs!

It sounds like he gave you good service. Hopefully, it will fit and work properly! It's nice that he made sure the fan mounting was right for your fan. I bought an aluminum radiator off of ebay. It looks a little different so it could have come from somebody else. Anyway, I got my fan separately from Amazon. I have no idea what they patterned the fan mounting stud positions from but the funny thing is that the fan mounting lugs were probably less than a quarter inch off! It was so close to fitting, it looked like it was intended for my fan, but they goofed in fabricating the mount. It didn't matter since in this case an inch was as good as a mile so it had to be modified to fit the fan.

I look forward to hearing your reviews. Thanks for all your research.
