I put mine in the inner guard ( not in the engine bay). Will try and take some pics tonight.

How do you mount it in the inner guard? Any major brackets/mods required. Barney has not enjoyed the last few days of sitting in traffic at 40°+. Do they make a noticeable difference? I have a couple of spare switches in the dash that would be handy to be able to flick on some extra air.

You don't. It comes with a fitting kit that attaches it to the radiator through the core.

That looks like a good buy for under $40

Those are the mounts I use too.

I have a rover one in my car. Sits in the inner guard, bolts right in no mods to the car, and has a proper shroud for correct air flow.

Hi Harley,
Do you still have the old fan on the water pump as well as electric rover fan?

I have been wondering if the rover fan would do enough on its own?

The same way AWD mentioned...it did make it a bit more fidely for a while, but have now changed radiator and shroud, so no probs :)

Real Minis in good condition don't need thermo fans... I'd add a heater core aux radiator instead. :lol: :P
