Got the new fans today. They're from a company called Thunder Chicken Racing. What's almost funny is that my old high school team was called the Thunder Hawks, which were sometimes derogatorily called the Thunder Chickens. My old school district doesn't exist any more, went though dissolution. Anyway, I flipped the blades for that they can arch the proper way and burn through that Bernoulli thingie when used as pushers. Off course the polarity will to be reversed in best technobabble or Mad Science fashion.
This is the condenser with the new wrinkle brackets and the new fans mounted on it.
This is the condenser
on drugs mounted on Wee Beastie. The new brackets fit the factory condenser mounting holes. The one fan sits lower to clear a lot of stuff. The power steering cooler had to be bent slightly forward to clear that fan.
My replacement accumulator came today. I had the idea that it was a direct replacement. Turned out to be a generic replacement. Not that I'm out of much since I would probably have to replace the hoses either way. Looks like I'll start making mounting brackets tomorrow out of scrap aluminum strap.
Unless the compressor arrives, then I'll got going on finishing up the adaptor mount out of scrap aluminum plate.
OTOH, I'm starting to wonder if I really like Pintos this much to go through all this expense and effort. Not that I went through these thoughts 27 times during the turbo swap....
