Cooling Fan for the Model A Driver and Passenger

[Tom Wesenberg]

I just ordered two of these fans. They only draw 1/2 amp at 5 volts, and are silent. I use them with my computer, but ordered two more to use in the Model A. I bought a couple lighter sockets that have two outlets plus two USB ports that can run the phone charger or these fans.

Where do you run the lighter socket wires to hook it up?

put an ice cube behind the fan for extra cold air

I'll just drop my top...

I clip the lighter socket to the starter switch and any good ground. The socket is insulated, so it can touch metal without shorting.

Oh? I'd like to see a picture of that mounting, please.

Right now I just have a pair of alligator clips on the 2 wires, so I can unclip it when it's not in use, or move it between cars. I'll put a loop terminal on the wire ends later and give the socket a permanent mounting on the steering column.

Here's a link to the sockets I ordered.
