  1. People,

    I just installed a Ferarri fan under the radiator. Fits like a glove and sounds like a jet when switched on. Things are improving in Wankelworld!

     

    The fan is Ferrari Electrofan part number 173030. It weighs 5.5 lb., is 16.5 inches in outside diameter and 4 inches deep at the motor. It has straight sides allowing it to fit in a 16 inch space and it comes with a custom rubber seal.

  2. For those who haven't done the upgrade yet, here are a few tips...

     

    1. Saw about 3/16 off each MM4 to get the same length. There is still plenty of thread in the insert.

     

    2. The rod end inserts are hard to tap. Not a place to have weak threads. Be prepared to have an expert do it for you.

     

    3. Drilling the wide washers is easy, but you really need a drill press for the bellcranks.

     

    4. You'll need eight AN4 7A bolts, matching MS21042-4 nuts and ten stop nuts for the mm4s.

     

    5. Watch out for clearances - things that touch now that didnt before.
