New black mechanical fan
Hi there,
After checking my fan blades, I want the new fan... Mine has 4 deep cracks around the central mounting section.
I've read here somewhere, and can't find it anymore (would be nice if the search worked better), that the new black fan blade does not fit the normal viscous clutch. My clutch still works well so I only want to replace the blades... (EBC4553)
Does anyone here have the exact measurements or the bore and screw pattern of the mounting surface? Metric please
Cheers
Damien

I just happen to have a spare black fan. Center bore is 2.60" /66mm, bolt holes center to center seem to be 2.30"/ 58.5mm. There is a ring of perforations at the edge of the center steel plate that the clutch bolts to, the clear diameter inside those holes is ~5"/130mm.
For working on these cars you know you really need a set of inch sized tools!

I swapped a yellow fan for a black one on my Daimler DS420 and it bolted right up to the old clutch unit, so it should be a direct fit for you.
The clutch has to come off anyway, so it doesn't matter. If I remember correctly, the fan and clutch has to be removed as a unit from the car; and each nut that holds the clutch to the car needs to come off a bit at a time. There isn't enough space to remove it completely and move to the next nut. That's certainly true when reinstalling it.
