That seems well priced and looks like for type 1 motors

very good price. I contacted him once but he wont sell the fan without the shroud - which makes shipping to SA super expensive.

Not very good at cooling. More show than go.
If it wasnt so big, I would put down the money for one now, but it wouldnt go onto my 2332. I would start experimenting on a 1600 until I can make it work.

at the current exchange rate that is VERY good value, that's what caught my attention. :-)
Still a lot of money, but I can just see this in the back of certain fleetline, with dual carbs - sigh.
Plan would be to do this to the current 1600 in there.... MMMM, wonder how reliable this is.

I dont think cooling would be as good as a T1 shroud to be honest, but I believe it can be made to work.

What happens to the oil cooler? Does it have to go external?
