Get a Spal with curved blades, quieter than straight blades.
I have 1 set of brackets to sell to attach a Spal fan to an aftermarket condenser
The 'stock' method is to stick connectors through the fins of the condenser
These are water jet cut steel that span from side to side

did you get your radiator re-cored yet? I am currently doing this, doing this because if and or when you put a new, non-original fan on your motor you will need a thinner radiator!
Not yet. Original rad is on the shelf, next to a new one from W&N. The original rad fit in front of a 9-blade fan with viscous clutch okay (not a lot of clearance, but it fit). I would think any re-core I'd get (if I go that route) will be no thicker than the original radiator. And the Spal is out front in place of the original supplementary electric fan. I think I'm good.
OK, I bought a new WN one and it is too thick for viscous clutch fan

You may want to indicate which one you have (for sale). WN sells several different rads. The one I have is the same size as the original.
I will do that, I was making sort of a joke, if isn't working for me, it is supposed to be same size as original, original doesn't fit either
Ah, well, then that is a problem.
The original is too thick for the viscous clutch fan
The spin-on viscous clutch works with my original automatic radiator. Rad has to be removed to install fan.
Stephen, it is possible to delete the viscous clutch altogether. Then you can install a 3 core rad and have zero clearance issues. Of course an auxiliary fan is needed, but I have had this set up for decades and has never let me down. I will admit I do not drive in humid Southern environs, but it is something to consider as you may not have the high temp extremes either. Couple of years ago I disassembled the stock fan and replaced the original SKF bearing in the motor and it is nice and quiet again.
Mark, what part number did you buy?
I don't have it hear to look at, I will ask, send me a PM to remind me if I forget
darn auto correct, I know a here from a hear
Maybe I missed it. Is this manual or automatic transmission?
Hi Bob, Not sure which car you are asking about - the topic of this thread has become more informative than applicative. My car is manual, and will remain so. I still hold a new W&N radiator and the possibility to re-core my original radiator. I have a 9-blade "red" fan with viscous drive that did clear the original rad, but not by much.
