Back in the day, my 1967 BJ8 lost the original fan blade one day when I =
was aggressively revving the engine under load after a tune-up. Suddenly =
there was a bang! The windscreen was covered with coolant.=20
The blade exited the wheel well sheet metal. It destroyed the radiator =
and water pump.
The next day I borrowed my mom's car and drove to a new job for my first =
day. There I met a gentleman and I told him of my incident. He said to =
stop by his house after work, which I did. His garage was filled with =
many Austin Healey 3000 parts. I bought a new rad, water pump, and fan =
for chump change. Boy, was I a happy camper.=20

In the late 60=E2=80=99s, driving my original BJ8 across the western =
US Deserts at an unreasonable speed, I lost one blade of the original 4 =
blade-2 piece fan. Me being a very lucky SOB, the blade went straight =
down and buried itself in the chassis cross member! Had it gone =
anywhere out of about a 45 degree arc, it would have taken out a front =
tire, the bonnet or the shroud with disastrous effect. I removed the =
broken blade from the shaft, completed my trip and took the car back to =
the selling dealer in Rockford, IL for replacement. This was an original =
car, purchased new by me from the dealer. I probably had 4-5,000 miles =
on it at the time of the mishap.=20
Another club member here in the Triad has lost one blade, twice in =
succession, on his BJ8. Don=E2=80=99t know if they were originals.
