thanks for all the comments. I lost a radiator about 35 years ago when a blade broke off the fan, and I don’t want to experience that again ! I haven’t driven my car much in the past 25 years, so haven’t really put it under stress. Since I just installed a new engine - and joined the local Model A club, I expect to be doing much more driving.

I just mounted the aluminum blade onto a rebuilt leakless water pump, and the tapers match quite well. All the parts are from Bratton’s so I’m not too surprised they fit together so well.

Werner - I checked the fan balance with a primitive set-up, and it seems to be well-balanced. Good suggestion.

Thanks again for your responses - Jim
