Default Cosworth Fan rotation Question

Hi all.

Ive recently rewired my fans on the cossie, and just wanted to double check i had the polarity correct for the fan motors.

When standing IN FRONT of the car looking at the engine, should the fans rotate clockwise or anti-clockwise?

Mine are spinning Anti-Clockwise (if sitting in drivers seat this would be clockwise) at the moment. I think this is right?

thanks guys

They are a suck fan, so draw air into the Rad.

yeah look at actual rotation not wiring colours as on mine the colours didnt match the wiring diagrams so it spun wrong way to start with!!

Just put your hand at the back of the fan, does it blow your hand towards the engine, as it should or chop your fingers off after sucking them into the fan blades ?
