Default Display engine. 15.5 in diameter fan with 2 in hub needed.

EDIT:

I HAVE DETERMINED THE FAN I NEED HAS A 4 1/8" HUB. NOT 2" PART # 73-8600

I've gotten so into correctness for the 60HP display engine that I want to be absolutely correct on everything if at all possible. I understand the correct fan has a 2 inch hub. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. So, does anyone have a nice 2" hub fan. I have a very nice fan with a 2.5" hub I can trade if interested. With this going to the Ford Foundation I am certain donations would be tax deductible, even if not, donations would be greatly appreciated. If 'ya gotta have money, how much? Lawson

39 Oh. I've got questions on the starter. Strange stuff done to it. Give me your direct email and I'll send you a couple of pictures. My email is [email protected].

Coop. Never tried that. I'll have to give it a shot.

My pix are in my computer only. Not stored on website. Probably a bad practice.

Lawson, I have a nice 4 blade fan. 2" hub length but it measures 15 3/4" in dia. Nice bright "Ford" red but I could blast it and paint it black.

Bill: I certainly appreciate the offer. That's a beautiful fan. 1/4 inch difference in diameter would probably not be as noticeable as 1/2 inch difference in length of hub I don't believe. However, the wanted notice has not been up very long so I'll hold off on taking you up on your offer. Just asking though, what would you want for the repainted fan or would you be willing to donate it to the project?

raybee: I have amended the original heading. Pull up original message to see the edit. Do you have the 4 1/8" hub I find I need?
