FAN MODIFICATION
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Following an idea put into my head months ago from an article on R3W member
Thermalsoareruk website , I have modified my fan by removing some of the edge
of the blade nearest the radiator and rounded off the tips
I would like to thank thermalsoareruk for the idea of modifying the fan

STEP 1 ;
Mark a quarter of an inch from the edge of the fan blade and draw a line to
the base of the fan blade as per photo 1
STEP 2 ;
Make a mark a half an inch from the edge of the fan blade and a quarter of an inch down on the drawn line { This is for the rounding of the edge }
STEP 3 ;
Cut using a saw or a Dremel type tool and smooth off .
You end up with this
Next pic shows fan with two blades modified and one still to do .
SKIPPY the bush kangaroo is the final look .
It may be my imagination but there seems to be less drone from the fan .
