Carbon fibre cooling fan

1 Attachment(s)

Look what I got for my 80th birthday. A composites resin and carbon fibre radiator fan.
Moulded round an original drive pulley by our friend Bruce Sratton. He needs scrap pulleys in good condition to make more and they are not plentiful in NZ. Bruce did amazing work on all sorts of Composites before retiring and selling the company to his staff. He has one Tudor with a Burtz engine, one more under restoration and a 1930 Coupe.
The beautifully crafted fan probably won't pass judging, but as a safety item it will never fly apart or corroded either
Thanks Bruce and Rae.

That looks awesome! I have quite a few original fans with their pulleys. Happy to provide them if there's a way to economically send them.

Simply gorgeous indeed! We could sure use some of those fans here in the US.

Maybe there is a threshold below which won't be subject to tariffs?

Wow nice! Maybe those wouldn't be included in the tariff fiasco.....Hard to tell.
