[DeTomaso] Replacing stock cooling fans

[David & Marilyn Bell]

I've had two Quella aluminum radiators, both with integrated fans and
shroud.  The first one was a 'stock' Quella two-pass version that had the
internal water tubes sealed with epoxy.  That radiator was damaged in an
off-track excursion and because of the epoxied design (the epoxy cracked), I
didn't think it was repairable.  I replaced it with the second, which was
custom single-pass design where I provided the specifications (via a
detailed drawing) for outside dimensions, inlet/outlet tubes, and
thermoswitch positions and Quella built it.  The second radiator has welded
water tubes with no epoxy.

The cooling system definitely performs much better with the single-pass
radiator, though there were other modifications done at about the same time
(swirl tank removed, streamlined main coolant path, etc.) that complicates
knowing what piece contributed what.

For starters, Quella's 'Fluidyne' is a Ron Davis radiator, not a Fluidyne.

JT, can you think of any other differences? :>) :>) :>)
