Default 1928 phaeton fan blade

Found a crack in our 2 blade fan, on the pulley side, 3/8" to 1/2" long. Replaced the blade this morning, Snyder's sent me one, check those blades, blade cheaper than a hood and radiator and no telling what else...

Was this an original fan or the new aluminum ones?

It was the original blade, I'm going to frame it and hang it on the wall. A good reminder...

Bob C: It is my understanding that the alum ones are castings.

When he said Snyders sent him one I was wondering if he'd bought one from
Snyders and they were replacing it because it cracked.

I didn't mean to confuse anyone, it was the original blade that was cracked. I ordered one from Synders to replace it, a quick turn-around on the order. The new blade looks to be aluminum. With no cracks....

I have an aluminum 2 blade fan on my car for a number of years. It's working great.

I thought I read somewhere that MARC Touring Class judging is going to award full points with a new aluminum fan. I suspect fine point will stick to they're guns on origionals.
