Title: Fan Shroud
Post by: BOTIGER1970 on December 23, 2022, 19:35:36

Looking for a fan shroud for my 1970 280SL with automatic transmission.  Question; did all of the 280SLs that had A/C come with a fan shroud?  Also, what is the correct fan for a 280SL with automatic transmission and A/C?  Was there a different fan without A/C?  Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Thanks,
Mark

Hi,
Afaik all cars with air conditioning had a fan shroud and an 8 blade fan instead of a 4- (early 230, fix fan) and 5- (late 250/280 with visco clutch) blade fan to increase cooling efficiency.
There have already been discussions about this, e.g. https://www.sl113.org/forums/index.php?topic=33326.msg244036#msg244036.
