Hi i fitted new rad 3 weeks ago, all the finns had droped out, which would let more air though,i think a elct fan might do , plus a bit more power.
Richard ps i love tinkering

cooling system in good order doesnt need any extra help, you must have an issue somewhere viscous fan is better than electric imo for engine,you do keep it topped up by removing plug on top of thermostat housing
