[Healeys] Texas Kooler

The blades on my Chinese fan were riveted on also, and shaped exactly like the
original blades.  As I recall, there is nothing on the fan itself that
indicated Chinese origin, but there was a "Made in China" sticker on the box
it came in.

You may not have one of these, Tom, but it would be worthwhile to examine
yours periodically just in case.  The shed blade put a 2-inch gash in my fan
guard, knocked it loose from the radiator header tank (my homemade radiator
shroud attached to the guard on each side kept the guard from going too far,
however, and kept the blade from doing more damage to the car), and put a
large hole in the radiator header tank.  Moss also replaced my radiator at no
charge.

The blades are riveted on and are squared off on the tips--not pointed.  If it
is one of the China ones, I must be lucky, because it has gotten LOTS of use
and no signs of cracking or other signs of damage.

I'll try to get in close and see if there are any signs of origin on it
anywhere.
