Guest Grant Magrath Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Crap! We sold our 38, so I can't say for certain! Danny will probably know.CheersGrant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danhar1960 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) I have a couple of '38 Century radiators and a few '39 Special radiators. I don't have a '38 Special radiator to make a comparison.I have a '39 cowl and tried it with a standard sized fan. It did improve the air flow through the radiator. Air flow improved by about 15-20%+. I tried the bigger diameter and 5 bladed fan wihich gave a greater flow.Danny Edited June 8, 2013 by danhar1960 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airbrushguy Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 Dimensionally, are '38 and '39 the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danhar1960 Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 ABG,If I recall rightly you have a Century. Century and Special radiators are different. I don't have a '39 Century radiator to compare with my '38 Century. If you want to take some measurements (in millimetres) of yours and give me what your reference points are, I can compare it with my '38.Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
