It's from the land of all things long grain, and designed to fit aluminium radiators also from the same neck of the woods. Or maybe paddy fields...

I wonder how it's supposed to help?

I mean, both of the OE fans are shrouded anyway.

Ducting and better venting might help in extremis (aerodynamically as much as anything else) but.........

Lighter weight for a start. Stock fans weigh as much as the titanic.

So rule of thumb eBay trade sellers they just sell crap :D

Plus I should take more time to read the adds before posting I thought it was the kit that fits under the engine cover & not a rad kit lol DHO

Was expecting this week, so most likely early next week.

Dan, (D4NVU), has a twin engine lid fan kit for sale. It's in my workshop. Check through the for sale forum.

For sure. But the weight is at the "right" end....... You could save that much weight -- and more, by just junking the air con.
