Re: Radiator Fan Placement Question

as mentioned, most fans are designed to pull, one of the big reasons for this is with a pusher fan your fan is blocking the front of the radiator from natural air, i think this was mentioned above... thus putting the fan on the rear of the radiator your fan can work, as well as the laws of physics when your moving forward with the natural air... I just made a flat mounting bracket out of sheet metal and mounted mine on the back of the radiator.
