One of BLMA's
most cutting edge parts to date! This fan set is designed to retrofit/upgrade
the fans on later generation EMD such as SD60s, SD70Ms and even SD90MACs.
To mount:
1. Drill out existing
fans, leaving only the round fan housing in place (notice we do not include a
new fan housing, ONLY the top piece).
2. File or sand
top of fan housing down no more then .005 to compensate for the new fan
grills thickness
3. Putting the
shell to the side, remove all pieces from the etched metal sheets. The large round
peace sign looking part is the first you will work with.
4. In the middle
of this part you will notice a little tab with a half etched line going through
the bottom of it. Bend this tab straight up and down so it is perpendicular to
the rest of the etching.
5. Next, mount
your fan blade etching directly on top of the lower part (above). The fan blade
etching should be suspended above the lower piece. Secure with a dab of super
glue.
Note: For added
realism, turn each fan blade a few degrees (like on a ceiling fan).
6. Next, spread
glue to the underside of one fan housing. Look down on the model, bring your blade/bottom
piece assembly up from inside the shell so the bottom piece comes in contact with
the glue and set in place. MAKE SURE that you have the fan center of the fan blade
etching in the center of your fan housing. The best way to do this is to eye ball
it from the top down (i.e., the step above).
7. Once all of
the fan blade assemblies are in place you can mount the top fan grill. We suggest
spreading a thin layer of CA around the top of the fan housing and then placing
the fan grill on top with tweezers.
