    Cluch fans td42ti and rd28t

    Hey all, I am almost finished my conversion to a td42ti and as the fan was snapped on the td42ti i used the one from my rd28t but when i put my new pwr radiator in it sits too close, there is about 20mm gap.

    Is there a difference between the TD42Ti and RD28T fan?

    Does the RD28 fan sit closer to the rad than the td42?

    If the answer is no then does anybody make a 'slim' fan? I dont want to go to thermo because of so many people having overheating issues.

    Here is a pic for you

    Yes the fans are different mate. The TD42Ti fan is a completely different design and works better than the fan you have pictured also quieter in operation. I can grab a pic of mine in the morning if you llike?

    Here you go. Its a little hard to see cos of the shroud and larger radiator (which gives me less room). Looking at them now there might not be much difference, if you were to remove them i think there might be. Im pretty sure I still have more room than that though. How thick is the radiator?

    The difference looks to be in the viscous hub mate. You can see the TD42Ti sits right over the hub back closer to the pulley.

    Thanks mate, yeah I know what you mean about the viscous hub. My radiator is 55mm thick (PWR0381). What is your view on thermos? I have heard that they dont pull as much air through?

    Out of interest,can you not put an electric fan on there instead,or do you guys prefer the original mechanical type?
    It is now official, we are not quite so sh@t at cricket as we were! Rugby Union is a different matter.
