GQ Thermo Fans

Hi all, The oil filled fan in the GQ recently failed. It was also very badly cracked and needed replacing anyway. I was keen to fit a set of thermo fans of a AU falcon as these setups are very popular swaps for a whole range of cars. I purchased the fans from Ford and the adjustable switch/thermostat from Repco along with 2 x 30amp Relays. The fans were very easy to fit as it turned out. If you turn them upside down and remove the bottom lip they fit straight in without any other modification. They fit slightly to one side so as to clear the bottom radiator hose. I made up some very simple brackets and used the existing bolts and holes that held the original shroud on. The Thermostat took a few goes to fit without leaking. The rubber sleeve provided with the kit needs to be shortened slightly as it overlaps the radiator top hose lip which was the cause of the leak. Once shortened there was no problem. I used 2 hose clamps though. I wired in two relays, one for each fan. They work a treat and boy, do they move some air. They only run for about 20 to 30 seconds to bring the temp back. I did get the fans for the right price through a friend in the trade, but all up the cost was around $300. They look like they were made for it. Regards, Glenn
