Title: will this fit on my reliant trike Post by: skates on July 09, 2012, 05:40:58 PM will this fit on my reliant trike and does anyone see any problems i may have with it. thought best i ask u bunch of eggheads before i buy it from evilbay
PLASMA REVS + DIGITAL WATER TEMPERATURE Combo Gauge (#380420324469) Title: Re: will this fit on my reliant trike Post by: one arm bandit on July 09, 2012, 07:54:34 PM yeah will fit,but really not worth it in my opinion, ive water temp and revs on mine plus oil pressure (oil pressure it a temporary gauge while i run a new rebuit engine in) the water is ok but there not to accurate and a fan switch is a far better option, and the rev gauge has a mind of its own most of the time as with reliant engines anything past 45mph your quite up on the revs anyway. there more of a distraction aswell as it causes you to constantly check them and as they tend to varie so much (mine from vibration)
Title: Re: will this fit on my reliant trike Post by: skates on July 09, 2012, 08:16:55 PM as i have a standerd head stock on my frame the front wheel is to close to the rad to fit a extra fan
Title: Re: will this fit on my reliant trike Post by: one arm bandit on July 09, 2012, 08:38:27 PM can you not take the mecanical fan off the water pump, then sit an electric fan on the back side of the rad?? that how i did mine ;)
Title: Re: will this fit on my reliant trike Post by: skates on July 09, 2012, 08:44:08 PM hmm didnt think of that.
Title: Re: will this fit on my reliant trike Post by: skates on July 09, 2012, 08:56:15 PM what kind of fan would i be needing?
Title: Re: will this fit on my reliant trike Post by: one arm bandit on July 09, 2012, 08:58:58 PM that what most of us have done, i used a zzr600 fan and the bracketry, its on a rocker switch atm, but soon to be automatic fan switch, ile leave the rocker switch on to over ride af switch, but really takes away the need for water temp gauge, ;) any bigger pics of your trike skates weve not seen many pics of the old girl ;) ;)
Title: Re: will this fit on my reliant trike Post by: one arm bandit on July 09, 2012, 09:00:31 PM what kind of fan would i be needing? any motorbike from a local brakers or ebay there cheep and all around the same size :)Title: Re: will this fit on my reliant trike Post by: skates on July 09, 2012, 09:02:45 PM saw the thead fifer did on fans and the slim one on evilbay looked good. will take a few pics of her tomorrow and post them up
Title: Re: will this fit on my reliant trike Post by: skates on July 09, 2012, 09:12:14 PM so i take it the standerd reliant fan aint all that good then
Title: Re: will this fit on my reliant trike Post by: one arm bandit on July 09, 2012, 09:51:58 PM on a trike id imagine it would be good as the air can flow all around the engine, but they dont look overly nice ploped on the water pump there not very central to the rad on a trike and a finger cutting off trap, you may see half a mile per gallon extra or 1hp extra buy not running the mechanical fan, and with only 39 of them every hp counts. electric is ive found alot better for cooling if in traffic or what not, ive used mine the odd time to be safer rather than sorry 2mins or so while sitting vastly reduces the temp from 100+ down to 85/90 degree, atleast thats what the gauge says ??? and thats why a fan switch is far less hassell it does the job for you ;)

The fan sits between radiator and engine after removing the original plastic fan. I didn't use a switch I got an inline thermostat but a switch is a lot cheaper.
Title: Re: will this fit on my reliant trike Post by: skates on July 12, 2012, 10:37:54 AM iv got a standerd reliant rad so what size fan would i be needing?
Title: Re: will this fit on my reliant trike Post by: nabsim on July 12, 2012, 12:38:35 PM Just measue across the fan, cant remember if mine was 8 or 9 inch but I think mine may be a mini radiator
Title: Re: will this fit on my reliant trike Post by: one arm bandit on July 12, 2012, 02:56:27 PM the reliant and mini rads are the same, ive got a 1275 gt mini alloy rad its twin core 40mm but the hight and width are standard fitment, any motorbike fan will do the job, ;) how'd you get a 61 plate skates ???
Title: Re: will this fit on my reliant trike Post by: skates on July 12, 2012, 06:41:33 PM they asked me if i wanted a Q reg or 61 plate. dont know why but it was a no brainer really
