I did cut an identical amount (1/4) of yellow plastic from all eight fan
blades and that together with the thickness of several crank bolt
lockplates should give me at least < of separation from the chassis/engine
crossover tube located immediately below the fan extension. As previously
stated, I will be turning this TR6 fan backwards ln order that I might be
able to change fan belts in the future without having to first remove the
radiator on my TR3.
Had I known that this would be an issue, I would have added
several shim plates under my motor mounts to adjust how the motor sits.
This weekend I hope to take my first ever ride in my TR3 across the front
yard. Ive learned a lot since removing my original motor mounts. Im
still learning so please continue to hit me with TR enlightenment.
The biggest tweaking that I think Ive done is to move my
exhaust over to the passengers side of my LHD TR3A. I did this because I
replaced my old steel fuel line with rubber fuel line AND I couldnt bear
the thought of a possible gas leak right over the existing exhaust pipe (so
I moved it).
Thanks,
Paul Dorsey
60 TR3A
