Since I need to change out my stretched out wobbly belts and refurbish the cooling system, I was thinking about getting rid of the overly complicated hydraulic fan clutch system and replace it with a conventional viscous clutch.
I still get annoyed when that loud assed thing kicks on.
I read the archived posts and got the part numbers for the H1 application. I was able to get an NOS clutch but the H1 plastic conventional(CW) rotation fan is on worldwide backorder.
I was able to find a plain jane steel fan assembly. 19" six blades. made by Derale.
Any thoughts, tips or warnings from anyone who has seen or done anything similar?
I plan on starting in the next week or two and will post the results of this test.
