Just as the title states....
When I was dressing my new motor I noticed these 'reverse' flaps. But have no idea what cable would hook up to the flapper arm, or where it would come from? Or what would activate it? Someone please enlighten me... |

Here's some classic pictures:
This picture has the cooling flaps closed - for cold weather. This picture shows the cooling flaps open - engine warm condition. This is a picture of the thermostat, which fits near your alternator. It expands and contracts per the temperature. The attaching wire moves with the expansion and contraction, which opens and closes the flaps. Eric |

This is a picture of the thermostat, which fits near your alternator. Just FYI, the bolt for the thermostat bracket is a *through* bolt! If removed from the case and not plugged, you will have a nice big oil leak ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Andy |
