MY FAN BLADES ALSO, JUST BEARLY CLEAR THE RADIATER, ABOUT 3/16", BUT THEY NEVER RUB. JUST BE SURE TO TIGHTEN THE MOUNTS UP,(YOU MAY NEED TO SHIM THEM)PROPERLY, WHEN ALIGNED. ONE MORE POINT I FOUND!!- THE LITTLE SET SCREWS THAT SECURE THE BLADES TO THE MOTOR SHAFT, YOU CAN NOT GET THEM TIGHT ENOUGH TO KEEP THEM FROM SLIPPING ON THE SHAFT!(EVEN WITH THE "FLAT" GROUND ONTO THE SHAFT). I TOOK OUT THE SET SCREWS AND REPLACED THEM WITH A SHORT ALLEN HEAD BOLT! THIS ALLOWS YOU TO USE OF A LARGER ALLEN WRENCH, THEREFORE YOU CAN TORQUE THEM MUCH TIGHTER. I HAVE NOT HAD THEM COME LOOSE YET! GOOD-LUCK WITH IT, MARLIN.
Hi Marlin...Finally found time to install the fans! They work great! Now what do I need to do to have the motor shut off with the key?...Curt
