That's a big & fast fan!

Try a 20" Axial fan :D

Alternatively look for something like this: http://store.gaugemagazine.com/index.as ... rodID=3853

you _____ star! I DO have a sodding HUGE vent axia in the garage with the controls on it mounted to a board and it runs of 240v! its perfect and i know exactly where it is :D yey

problem with an overly HUGE fan is that you then have to create the cowling to divert it over the two rectangular radiators, something im a little too lazy to do, i also need speed control so i was going to use two 205 diesel fans connected to a rather large reostat but the vent exia has a speed control unit inbuilt!
