| Thanks for the info. I ve been told standard ed alternator is bigger than the ea/eb alternator and will run the fans with no problems, don't know with a "huge sound system " though. The ef/el alternator could struggle a bit as well. You may find you need a capacitor to help. You can fit ef... |

Hi all, just a quick one.
I want to put thermo fans in my ed. I have the fans and Davies Craig kit, but I'm a bit
reluctant to as everything else is stock, do I need to put an ef/el alternator in, or will my stock ed alternator do the job.
Cheers,
