I have replaced my fan and extension with an electric affair ahead of the 
rad but have had a look at the pedestal on my shelf. There is definitely no 
sign of any machining or any marks which could be attributed to rubbing even 
occasionally on the steering rack. I used to keep a spare fan belt already 
inside the steering rack taped if memory serves (very dodgy nowadays) to the 
crossbar so it  could be immediately deployed.
ISTR that to squeeze the new belt between the rack and the fan shaft I would 
jack up a plank put under the sump. BTW I have been meaning to replacing the 
engine mountings for 30+ years!

Of course YMMV,
