: I never have gotten a definitive answer on this one yet, but a while back I got a two-bladed fan which looks just like a normal "A" fan, but is not laminated out to the blade tips like normal fans.The doubling ends about 2" out from the hub. It's much lighter than a normal fan.
: I understand that this is a late modification to address the blade-chucking problems, but I don't know whether it was successful or not.
: Does anybody know if the unlaminated fan is more reliable than the normal unit??Did Ford have a better idea??
The late '31 fan had a reinforcement that stopped several inches above the hub on each fan blade on the rear side.It did not go all the way to the fan tip.This was supposed to reduce fan failure to cracking.By the way, these fans will break also.
