Title: Future of the Manufacturing Fund in the Forum
Post by: Gordie on October 16, 2018, 11:32:04 PM
Because the Manufacturing fund articles and questions are not monitored it is best to contact the Fund Manager directly.  Adam Harder is our busy Fund Manager and he can be contacted directly by club members at the54darrinkid@hotmail.com regarding questions or new products.  The last page of your monthly Bulletin contains a price list and description of the many things that are available through the club.  There are over sixty different items available now and a one time $10.00 contribution to the Manufacturing Fund gets you many authentic K-F items. with many new things in the works.

I would prefer to leave the topic as is for the rest of us who monitor this topic.  We can see what others are interested in instead of one-on-one contact with Adam, which is necessary.

Go Ahead and start one yourself.  There is no reason why you cannot.

Welcome the addition of a new forum category for modified cars. Some other car groups have this separate category, e.g., Studebaker and Packard. My remaining Frazer is a "restomod."

The previous owner had an electric fan but removed it and I cannot recollect the story. The radiator is a new "Be Cool" but indeed the car is not a parade car. Stop and go traffic in the summer and the coolant will get hotter than I prefer (over 210 degrees). The previous owner did do some shrouding and "directing" of the airflow from below with a big black baffle which the casual observer would not know wasn't original. But on the road the car does well and we use it for local tours around the area.

I used to Use 160 thermostat in Summertime. But  Another works Best turn on Heater Valve, but keep Your fresh Aircoming in. This adds more Capacity of Water in the Cooing System.
This has worked on many 30’s - 50’s Vehicle’s at Parade speed .

Heater works very well. I too generally use 160 thermostats and indeed there have been occasions on other cars where I activated the heater flow through the system to bring the radiator temperature down...long rubber heater lines to help conduct the heat away.

THIS THREAD HAS GONE WAY OFF THE RAILS OF THE INTENDED TOPICS OF THE MFG. FUND TAB.
START A NEW THREAD IN A DIFFERENT TAB TO CONTINUE THIS DISCUSSION.

"category" is different than "thread"
by category, I belief the intent was a new discussion "Tab"", eg KAISER, DARRIN,etc.

When I first read this thread this old cartoon immediately came to mind and I finally got around to posting it. Not to get any digs in, just sharing a bit of wry humor.
