Re: [Chrysler300] Member with an overheating problem with his K

[Keith Boonstra <kboonstra@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Member Ray Melton emailed me with similar information to this note on 
Hayden clutches from Don Nissen. The challenge to finding one in the 
Hayden catalog that will work is that Chryslers were engineered with 
unusually short coupling between the water pump and the radiator core. 
My reply to Ray follows:

The '86-'94 Jaguar thermal clutch is the base unit I started with when I made some proper ones up.  You will need to buy a sleeve for the pilot as it is too large to center it properly, and then you need to machine off part of the front fins at an angle.  If you don't, you'll have to remove either the clutch or the radiator every time you need to change a belt.  There's not enough clearance between the clutch and radiator otherwise.

So that's what I put together as a package, along with the blade and clutch mounting bolts and shipping cost.  I'd be happy if everyone just wants to deal with it all themselves, but some would rather buy it ready to hang on.  Well, we'll see what the response is.

Thanks.
Keith
