Re: alfa-digest V9 #657 - GTV6 cooling solved (GTV6 cooling enigma follow up)

[Alcon98340@xxxxxxx]

IAP was indeed interested in hearing about the fans being wired backwards. I 
sent an email to their tech department regarding my experience so that they 
would be aware of it, and could pass that information along to customers if 
necessary. I received a prompt reply of thanks from the sales team manager who 
forwarded it on to the warehouse manager and buyer so they would both be aware of 
it as well. I would like to add that I have had good experiences with IAP, 
and will happily continue to recommend them (and order from them). 

The fans did come with shrouds, but don't line up nicely for the mounting 
holes on the radiator like the stock ones. There were included metal brackets 
(metal stock with drilled holes, could probably find something similar at a 
hardware store) that get bolted to the mounting holes on the radiator and the holes 
on the shroud. They did fit without having to modify them, but it seems a bit 
cobbled together for $109 per fan. Plus, it added additional steps of 
tightening the intermediate bolts in an area that is already a bit difficult to get 
to (bottom radiator mounts). Just my two cents on the matter. A big thanks once 
again to everyone who responded with suggestions. Part of the joy of owning 
Alfa's is the community that comes with it.
