I've had Snyders fans on several cars I have owned. At one time the advice around town was make sure of the taper before you buy. That problem has been resolved and I have never had a replacement that didn't bolt on and use with no adverse effects. The powder coating issue is easily handled with a pocket knife. In your example, if it were mine I'd get on the phone and find out what they will recommend. They do take care of business in a professional manner.
