Operation Bigfoot – Stage 8
We fitted a Davies,Craig thermatic fan DCSL 16, for cooling.
The 16″ unit, mounted to the Toyota Bundera fan shroud, was chosen because the opening is 16″, making it easy to mount. This was then bolted to the HJ47 radiator.

The top radiator hose is Holden HG V8 but we had to manufacture an adaptor plate to fit a Toyota thermo housing to the top outlet on the motor.
steering shaft
The steering shaft used between the steering box and the firewall is ex 86 Toy Bundera and bolted straight on without any alteration. All oils and fluids have now been added and the motor fired up.
