Micheal, what are you building exactly? Are you locking up an old clutch or building a solid mount for the fan?
Yep like Brett said I am taking old cores (usually bad clutch fans) and turning them into solid fans. All external features remain the same to no changes to anything just bolt it up and you are set. BTW I still need more cores if anyone wants to part with some old clutch fans.
