White plastic 6 blade fan with v belt pulley
Does anyone know where I can get the older style white plastic 6 blade fan? It is a 4 bolt mount and is on a reddish colored v belt pulley. I just want an extra blade. I did a search and found that Steve S posted that Dennis Cling sells a serpentine system with a white plastic blade that looks like the one I have but I don't know if its the same type/bolt pattern. Any advice?
Thanks |

Why not go with the proper fan for the job? Plastic parts belong on plastic cars. Plastic fans are just fugly on a Model A.

Re: White plastic 6 blade fan with v belt pulley
my guess would be to be able to see it spinning while it's running against the black radiator so not to get your hand caught in it.

Re: White plastic 6 blade fan with v belt pulley
I just got the fan/pulley set from Bill Stipe. The fan is a modified plastic Flex-A-Lite fan, but it is black, not white. Haven't put them on yet, so can't attest to operation. It is a different looking fan from the ones the vendors have, and is suppose to "flatten out" at the higher RPM, providing less drag on the engine.

Re: White plastic 6 blade fan with v belt pulley
I piddled with my Model A for nearly 20 years and never touched the turning fan. All of a sudden I touched it twice in the same week. Stupid, double stupid me! The second time, my trigger finger nail looked like the notched blade of a hand saw. Hurt like hell! I painted the last 2 inches of the blades yellow and can see the fan turning many feet away. Please be careful, I was lucky with only finger nail damage.

Re: White plastic 6 blade fan with v belt pulley
I painted the fan red on my sept 29, just to make it look purty. I also removed 3/4 inch from each blade for more clearance and power!!!

Re: White plastic 6 blade fan with v belt pulley
While working for many years on cars with plastic fans, I found that if you accidentally hit your elbow or hand or fingers on the BACKSIDE ONLY, it just goes "BRRRP" & doesn't injure you!!----Bill W.

Re: White plastic 6 blade fan with v belt pulley
As to all the questions that arnt answering the guys question "why not black" "why not original" and suchlike. I don't know the actual answer to his question, but I read his question and I deduced from the sentences and language he used, is that he wants a replacement/ spare that will fit on his pulley.
I can't stand laurel and hardey, but that's not answering his question either. So to help, could anybody answer his question? Glad to be of service. Martin. |

Since the answers to his specific request were few and far between what is wrong with giving alternatives? And please note that he has not been back to clarify why the white fan is so important or if the fan noted in post 11 is anywhere close to what he is looking for.
