Hello All,
I purchased a 13" Flex-o-lite stainless steel flex fan for my Alpine to
replace the stock stamped steel unit before it decides to self destruct,
but am having trouble with the fit. The diameter and depth look good, but
the oblong slots for the bolts are not long enough for the bolts to thread
into the water pump pulley. The center hole is also too small to clear the
nose of the water pump shaft. The question I have is do you guys think it's
worth me trying to modify this unit, or is there a flex fan that will fit
without this much modification? My concerns with modifying is thowing this
fan out of balance by not being able to machine the center hub true to the
original center. Any suggestions?
TIA.
Tom
