: >>After a successful ride through the Memorial Day parade with our 1930 Deluxe Town Sedan, one side of our fan blade broke off,<<
: if you often take part on a parade-- i would use the 4 blade fan!!
: it´s not original but effective!!!
: i think is´s a good choice!! if it should be original -- search a not broken old one!
You have received some good information. If you choose an aluminum fan you should check the balance. They are not as good as you might think. Also several of our club members have had a problem with the taper on it not fitting the shaft too well and causing a knocking sound and a loose fan when run. On one of my cars I re-tightened the fan nut 2 and 1/2 turns! If you want an original you might try Rex Reheis at 706-468-8717. He restores small parts and repairs, removes the bulge in the ends of the blade and balances the fan. He is an old time machinest, now retired.
