[TR] TR Radiator "Tropical" Fan?

[Paul Willoughby]

Although I've never examined one up close, I've seen one on a friends car. 
This one looks right to me.  I was going to bid on it when it was at $50. 
When it topped $100, it was too rich for my blood.

On a related note, I bought a 6 blade Volvo fan on ebay.  I was dismayed 
when it arrived because the four bolt holes were not equally spaced as on a 
TR fan.  If I redrill the holes, how critical is it that they be perfectly 
on center?  As opposed to making some of the holes oblong to make up for 
poor placement.
