Default Modified Radiator fan and motor

Guys,

I had a broken fan and I can't manage to source for the replacement. What I did was I modified another fan together the fan motor. However, now I have 2 fans rotating in opposite directions..

Do u guys think it will cause any problem?

Depending on the blades, one fan is blowing air and one is exhausting it. Shouldn't be a problem, but you should probably get that fixed.

If you switch the wires around you can change the way the fan spins

i thought both fans are doing the same things by drawing air from the atmosphere???? the only diff i knw was one fan was 5 blades and the other was 7 blades.

i cant reverse the direction bcos of the fan is suppose to turn opposite way in order to draw the air from outside.
