Agree with the Funbeam.  My 6 blade fan fit
perfectly with cutting the blades and it clears
the rack by a good 1/2 inch.  I took it to a
tool maker who used a reamer to make the
hole 1 inch.  The problem is that my Tiger
pump shaft was just a few 1000ths over 1 inch.
The inch hole was too tight.  He reamed it out 
to 1.005 and it slid right on.  Use a reamer not
a drill.

Once I get the radiator out, I'll pull the fan and
look for numbers.  Right now two blades are
wrapped back around the pump.  I am having
second thoughts about straightening the
blades.  Perhaps I'll have it magnafluxed after
I bend the blades back. I'd hate to throw a 
blade after I get everything fixed.
