[TR] 6-bladed 'Tropical' Radiator Fan Blade

[wbeech at flash.net]

All,
This is a fascinating discussion, please continue to contribute if you can
advance it along, the feedback so far has been very enlightening.  

QUESTION:
Does anyone know of any definitive marks or numbers that could be found on a
genuine StanPart "Tropical Fan"?

THe factory parts manual shows two fans available. Early TR4As were fitted
with a metal 6 blade fan and an extension which was attached to the fan
pulley hub by 6 nuts and bolts. The fan was attached to the extension with 4
bolts.
