New Fan .......Huuurrraaahhhhh

Greeners · 16th June 2008, 19:31

At long last, my ZT has got a working fan. I must thank Jules for a) his resistor kit, b) the control box and c) the instructions to take it all to bits.

The only downside is I found two bolts left over, and I'm not sure if they were already in my socket set or I've forgotten to put them back.....

Whilst the bumper was off, I fitted two new fog lamps , and a new indicator. All the screws were rusted solid so the had to be drilled out.

One very strange thing, the fog lamps have an adjuster screw you can get to from the front......well you could if you could take the surround off which is rear mounted......

Oh, and added the second horn in for good measure. Sounds like a proper ZT (at last)

One last job was to try and close the gap up between the bumper and bonnet. Rather then use losts of washers, I simply raised the armature (big lump of aluminium) up as far as it would go on it's bolt holes, and moved the bumper forward in teh same manner. Not perfect, but a big improvement on before.

I gave them a quick check, and they appeared to be intact.....
