Geoff,
My TR6 is back on the road today after three years doing a frame off. I have
removed the original plastic fan and installed a 14' puller electric fan.
The crankshaft extension was removed and replaced by a spacer from Ken
Myhre. Ken can be reached at: 3n6forfun@adelphia.net
There are some photos of the spacer and details about the fan switch on my
web site, http://topshamautoparts.com/tr6/engine.htm and
http://topshamautoparts.com/tr6/Spring2003.htm
Recently a sprocket wheel was mounted ahead of the spacer in preparation for
electronic fuel injection.
Like I said earlier today was a big day after three years fighting rust and
restoring the car. This morning was great heading to work with the top down.
Coming home it was raining! God I hope it doesn't rust!!!
Good luck with your project.
