Thanks MB.

Check out the relays here. They operate at 12V DC, they are very, very small and some carry up to 10 amps. What about these?

Relays

Has anyone tried to put a micro relay inside the original equipment relay, like the horn relay?

I know this trick is common with the 60's Marelli voltage regulators, but just wondered if the same can be done for, say a horn relay. Thanks.

This is the fan I ended up with. It seems to have the highest cfm output and the price is less than Ebay.

R Wills,

We are not satisfied with the few pictures you have divulged of your PF in its new transformation. You owe us more, better pictures.

Honestly, would love to see more photos when you've had a chance to bring out the car.

Thank you everyone for your advice. Tom Y, we are talking about the PF Coupe. The fan spins all the time, unlike your car. The inside plug engines have their dynamo spun from a gear in the middle of the camshaft sprockets. At the other end of the dynamo there is a pulley that spins the fan pulley vi...

Aux Radiator Fans

Folks,

Any suggesstions on auxiliary radiator fans?

Last summer while waiting in the stop-go traffic of Crapo Italiano for nearly an hour my 250 overheated.

The surface of the radiator can accomodate a 16-inch fan it seems.

Thank you.

... and the first question you'll always get will be, "are those ... original?"

I have a friend with a very nice six-carb 275 GTB. The first question he's asked, pointed or pointless, is whether the six carbs are original.

bc49,

Thanks. I wished I had known about the Positron business earlier. But I put in the piano wire today and it worked fine. Thanks for your help.

Well, I went to a couple of bicycle shops but all I could find was stranded cable, which works well for pulling but not pushing. I was trying to save the sheath and just replace the core. The parts stores only sold choke cables which would work fine as long as use the cable along with its own sheath...

A truly beautiful color scheme! Congratulations to Roger.

Rumor has it that St. Peter also owns a PF Coupe. So people who treat these cars the way Roger has get in the gates a lot quicker.

Thanks Tom. Why didn't I think of that?!

Another question... How did you free the old sheath from its landing point and how did you secure the new one? In mine it seems the sheath is press fitted, meaning, it's crimped in. Thanks.
