I could have let you borrow my spare J-bracket. Once you get the bracket could you please take some pics of it before and after you install it on your car.

Just thought I'd revive this thread from the dead to show I actually used the search feature before posting. LOL

My Procharger radiator fan just died. It pops the fuse less than 2 minutes after it starts running and gets so hot you can barely touch the back of the fan motor. I've seen a lot of people recommending the SPAL 16" extreme fan as it is supposed to move more air and is a direct bolt in to the radiator shroud. Is this still the best option or are there any other fans out now that are better?

After searching for the fan I came across this:

Quote:

When we designed the Extreme Performance 16-inch fan we sacrificed motor longevity for the highest performance fan available to date. When reaching the finish line is more important than driving to grandmas house, the Extreme Performance 16-inch fan is what you need.

Now, my car spends a lot more time on the street than on the track so "driving to Grandma's house" is a little more important to me. How reliable are these fans in "real life" for those that are using them?

The SD-concepts radiator duel fan shroud, is defently the way to go , the one big single fan didnt work out for me, even replacing the procharger one with the SPAL 16" extreme fan " , the sd-concepts fan shroud fits perfect and run 2 fans one 14" and one 10" nice set up and now works like your stock duel fan set up, after i installed this i never had a problem with my car getting hot in trafic or idel again

My stupid ATI fan squeaks a tiny bit and it drives me crazy, you can only hear it when the car is turned off and the fans are slowing down, but still. I may go to pushers instead of my 2 pullers.
