Radiator fan mounting - original?

PostPost by: Gemini1962 » Sat Oct 26, 2024 3:34 pm

I recently bought a 1967 Elan S3 S/E having never owned an Elan before and I'm trying to determine what's original and what's not. I am curious to know if this radiator fan mount is original or not. It looks a bit Heath Robinson to me but what do I know!

It looks like a Kenlow fan and mounting. I can't quite make out the writing on the red label but it might say Kenlow. They were/are? a well known after market radiator fan supplier.

I don't know about a Series 3 Elan but Series 4 and Sprints as built had a 3 point mount for the motor off the radiator. The impeller was either plastic or sheet metal.
