Cooling 101 - The Ultimate Guide

Patrick--

I'm glad you were able to get the files to open. I was trying to send the patterns in full 100% scale so that they could easily be transferred onto sheet metal without having to deal with scaling them up.

The original drawings were sent to me by an autox lister years ago, and I finally got around to using them this past winter. They have been supplemented by the guy who did the work for me and while he welded some of the angles one could get by with braking and rivetting instead.

I had the baffles installed along with a Wizard AL radiator and the result is outstanding. Previously my car was the typical overheating Healey, and even with a five-blade fan and a supplementary electric fan its tolerance for traffic was nil. Now, despite temperatures at or above 90 degrees the needle stays around 160 while running and climbs to no more than 180 when in traffic.

I hope this is of some help to others.

I was able to open and print all of the attachments to standard paper. The only thing I had to do was adjust the brightness to a darker image for clarity. Thanks a lot for sharing with us!
