No, sorry, I don't (although I fully expect some aulro guru to be able to answer you).Quote:

By arms I mean 10mm + wide strips of 2-3mm alloy with bolt holes either end......ie one for the fan and the other for the condenser bolt?:)
You should have no problems using this method as long as the strap is around the 2mm or 3mm mark as there is not a whole lot of room in there. There is a brace in front of each fan and I had to slightly bend this to stop it from rubbing on the new fans.
Just for the record , a 1985 Mercedes280SE , I think 18 or 20 inch fan will fit in an 81RRC with a bit of persuasion.
And boy do they blow some air.
In Saudi the genuine Bosch were cheap but probably expensive here.

Well I got them both on....without any big problems :D.
As it turned out I used one factory hole/bracket and used a 60mm x 10mm x 2mm alum arm for the other top hole.
The lower holes were more of a issue :(, the outer cage/cover is about 15-20mm bigger than the LR fans, eventhoguh I got 10 inch fans.
I sat ther trying to work out how to fix the bottom part of the fan for a while because there isnt anything to bolt or screw it to , so I used some big **** nylon ties from fan to air con dryer thingo pipes to hold in place :eek:......sounds a bit rough I know but they are very easy to get to and I will replace them when I do the oil change etc...;)... they are not moving at all, so that will do for now. :)
All working well, but after I put it all back together the right fan is just touching something on start up and when shutting down....(but not when running) but only a slight touch, I guess it will "wear" in :eek:
Have you got any photos Amshaw as I'm keen to see how you went about your install.

I wasnt going to worry about the right fan re the slight touch, but as Im anal about stuff like that I will take the front off again and while there take some pics ;)Quote:

I also stoped the tap tap tap tap etc, I just spaced out one bolt so the fan was running a little more square ;)
