<DIV>Hi George,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I can see how, with the spacer, you can get the clearance to the
radiator. I want to still be able to use the dog bolt’s head to turn the
crank, which I don’t see is possible now, even if I manage to mount the yellow 8
blade fan backwards.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Someone referred to Macy’s garage (thanks!), who offer a direct bolt-on
mechanical fan for the TR2-4A engine. It does what I want (clears the
radiator, improves air flow, and leaves the dog bolt head free) for the same
price as an electric fan kit, so I’ve ordered one and expect to be quite
pleased.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks again for all the advice,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Cliff</DIV>

<DIV>I used the 8 blade fan backwards on my TR4. I do not recall if I had
to enlarge the center hole. I did have to use a spacer to move it forward
slightly (made from a piece of plastic cutting board).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Note, it's a TR6 yellow fan, just painted black to make it a bit
stealthy.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>IMO, 1/4" clearance is adequate if the usual radiator braces are in place,
motor mounts good, etc.</DIV>

<DIV style='FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: "Calibri"; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)'>
<DIV>I need to remove the fan hub extension (part 128318). I’ve taken
the nuts off of the 6 bolts that pass through the pulley. It seems still
attached solidly. Rusted in place perhaps? Or is there something
else to be done to get this piece off?</DIV>
