Bill,
Interesting question. I own an early TR4A that has the yellow fan. I have
always felt this was an original installation. A plastic fan is listed in
the TR4A parts book. A specific fan hub extension is shown for the plastic
fan assembly #142121 that is different than the extension for metal fans
(#128318).
It appears you will need to track down the hub extension for the plastic
fan. No plastic fan option is shown in my copy of the TR4 parts book.
Good hunting!

Fellow Listers;
It is almost time for my 62 TR4 to finally be roadworthy. This would
not
be possible without the help and assistance of this list and its members. I
found the answers to many of my technical problems either through a current
thread or from a search of the archives. But I have not found an answer to
my current problem in the archives.
I recently purchased a used yellow 8 blade fan to replace the tired old
stock unit. It was advertised at auction as an early TR6 fan that would fit
a TR4. For radiator clearance I planed to mount the fan inverted, and I
understand that this is possible. I removed the radiator, took off the old
fan, and much to my surprise the diameter of the hub extension is greater
than the recess in the inverted fan.
Do I have the wrong fan? Can I reduce the diameter of the hub
extension?
Do I need a different hub extension?
The fan does fit and bolt holes match when mounted normally, but there
is
not enough clearance for the radiator. Advice and suggestions appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill Grubb
