Thanks guys.
Can you do me a favor and see which direction the fans on your 80 and 4-runner rotate please?
I need to find a suitable Toyota fan with the correct direction to bolt to my center. The 2lt is a perfect fit but is obviously meant to rotate the other way and isnt ideal as Ed and Clive mentioned.
Electric fan Ben?
So, there's at least 2 options that won't work...
I reckon an evening with Dr Google Image search and you'll get somewhere...
The problem there may be that in doing so you lessen the contact the belt has on the driving/driven pulleys causing more point load and potential for slippage.Thanks mate.
I wonder if I could re-route the belt to make that pulley the fan bolts to, spin the opposite direction.
That would seem to be the least tricky option. I did notice the engine seems to be at more of a downward angle than the radiator and hence closer at the bottom. The top may be tricky to move forward (body cross member, bonnet latch etc . It may be less tricky to angle the radiator slightly to be parallel to the fan.Personally, I'd be looking to move the rad forward, and keep the stock fan, Ben.
