Swing Radiator in Texas

[Ralph L. Fullenwider]

Hi Howard:

No, I have not seen a swing on a PT. Have to admit though, it would have
been nice during a couple of fan motor rebuilds.

One idea I have seen though, on a PT, it was a stainless steel scoop, about
3 1/2 inches for the duct and ran the length of the rear seam vertical of
the radiator over the louvers. This forced more air flow on the road
through the rad. I know that when I get a PT, I will be building one for mine.

Safe travels,
