As said above ive got a smaller slim-line kit-car fan which is simply zip-tied on. Very neat and no probs keeping me cool... | |

Pacet sell them. Basically just zip ties with a different fastener. | |

Na they aren't zip ties, they are special thingies for holding fans onto radiators. | |

cut the bracket off the fan where it is touching and make your own with that strip of metal you get everytime you buy a new radio.easy | |

Or if there isn't a good enough gap in the Corsa radiator to get the bolts through you can use some thin plastic thingies - not sure what they are called though :lol: | |

Through the fins, not the piping... You got to be able to pop the 4 bolts through... | |

Get a kit car fan. They are very small and slim. you just drill 4 holes though the radiator and mount it then wire it in... | |

i have developed a highly sophisticated melt-proof fan. | |

Ive got a smaller after-market fan on mine which is moved over to battery-side of engine bay to clear the manifold easily. Have a look in Rally Design/ Tweeks etc... Another option would be to move the existing fan to the other side of Radiator and wire it backwards, it would need modifying to fit but nothing a few good zip-ties through the radiator & around the fan housing wont sort out... | |

I'm affraid you'll have to put up with the manifold close to the radiator unless you re-locate it, fit an override switch if necessary, thats if your worried about the manifold heating up the radiator! | |

I honestly don't think it would fit between the manifold and the housing they're that close!!! | |

Why not try putting a heatshield on the manifold? | |
