SirLDragon, Im sorry if i was a little off, i was having a bad day at the time, and just vented a little, if i ever get my finger out and make the trek to the nationals ull see im not an arse really! :o ;)
As for the fan, youre right if you turn it around it does hit the belts etc, hence i thought that the only way it could work was the way it is and when its revved it does pull the air!
As for the shroud the previous owner cut it about!
The same guy also had most of the bolts on the car finger tight too! :'(
Thanks again im hoping that i can get hold of one. As for the autoparts stores, i wish mate this is good ol blighty (england) i can get parts but it takes some effort sometimes! :-\

Thanks to all that posted i appreciate the help, honest LOL ;D ;D ;D

I really didn't think you were being like that. I hope you can make it to the Nats next year. I'm sure we'd all like to meet you.

Now that you mention the shroud being cut I can see it in the first pic. That's a shame. Maybe you can find one to replace it if you ever feel you need it. I also hope you found all the loose bolts that nut neglected. lol

If you can't find that spacer, Summit has them.

You're probably going to want at least a 2" spacer, which is pretty much standard.

Actually his fan isn't backwards....the car came from Australia originally and the fan spins backwards....just like when you flush a toilet down under ;) :D :D
