Dual fans not fitting with Wonder bar?
Has anyone else had a problem with a dual fan not fitting with with the wonder bar installed?
picked up a set of dual fans taht I was going to use to replace my single electric fan on my 84 T/A and the bottom mounts wont fit, the wonderbar is in the way.
I also have a BeCool radiator, but even that only pushes the fans out another half inch...so they wouldn't fit anyway...
Doe anyone have a fix for this? Or did you go another route?

I have a factory wonder bar from a Iroc on my 89 formula 350.
The factory dual fans fit with no problem.

I got an IROC wonder bar and it fit my dual fans no problem. Could you post some pics of your issue?

I had a problem with fitment with the Spohn bar when i installed it. I had to trim the lower fan mount with a side grinder but it does fit.

You might want to look into getting a TDS wonderbar. That might give you a better fit.

I also have a BeCool radiator which pushes the fans out another 1/2-3/4". I had to grind down my single fan a bit to fit with the beCool radiator as it is though it clears the wonderbar no problem.

Re: Dual fans not fitting with Wonder bar?
I wanted to follow up on this since I returned to and got my dual fan's back installed. With the factory radiator installed (My Be-Cool unit blew a hole in the bottom corner), the dual fan's install just fine for the most part. With the Be-Cool unit, it pushes the fan's back another 1-2 inches and that is right where the TDS wonderbar is.
