From minispares: http://www.minispares.com/product/Class ... G2129.aspx Quote: Make sure you fit the plastic blade the right way, the smoother moulded centre faces the engine, which might look wrong to some people, our picture shows the side that faces the radiator. If there is an F or word "front" stamped on it then that is the side that faces the radiator. Radiator side: Attachment: image (1).jpg Engine side: Attachment: image (2).jpg Minisport has the same direction: http://minisport.com.au/mini-moke-11-bl ... ooling-fan |

Sooooo looking at mine I’m guessing I can be added to that list of people.  2 questions come to mind. 1. I assume that it being on backwards reduces the cooling effect of the radiator? 2. What is the best way to turn it around? I know I can do it, but usually I do something and then some shows me an easier way. So this time I thought I’d swallow my pride and ask first.

If you undo engine mount, top radiator bracket and cowl top. You can lift engine at rad end and it will give you access to bolts. |

Looks like the engine runs clockwise and the air is PUSHED through the radiator |

Yep, opposite to normal car. |

And the fan will send the air the same direction even if installed backwards, just not as efficient. If your car runs cool enough at the moment you could probably keep it the way it is? |

My mini was getting hot in stop start traffic. It was then pointed out that my fan was on backwards. I decided to have it put the right way around. Problem solved! If you don't have a heat problem let it be |
