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. |

Re: White plastic 6 blade fan with v belt pulley
I believe that post # 11 tells where to locate the part in question.
