I have a bunch of seven blade fans if you end up needing to source one. 

Dang, have to acquire more fans, must keep ahead……

Seriously I have seen quite a variety of fans and noticed that some have reversed curvature of the blades compared to others. Same puller blade angle, but blade is cupped the other way. Aerodynamic/airflow modeling advances apparently … 

Also I believe that the mounting face of the plastic fans is not in the center of the hub, make sure da fan is on da right way….

Yes, this IS something I paid specific attention to when installing it.

Well I just searched my parts and I do not seem to have any other fans (I really thought I had an extra or two).  I would like to see about getting a correct fan from you please.

If one has some spare fans.. i hear that you can't store them lying horizontal? The oil gets in places where it can't get out and the clutch gets damaged.. any of you have any experience with that?  (I had one and stash them away vertical!)

I'll look through my bin, and send some pictures. It wont be until after work today though. 

Do you need the clutch?

or just the blades?

No clutch needed, I have a new one.  I just need the fan itself, thank you for verifying.  🙂

So it looks like I have about ten 8 blade and only four 7 blade fans.

Seems to me I have an 8 blade in my 70 with a stock radiator and a metal shroud. Works well. 

I will PM the pictures and discuss a possible transaction there.

You should like the way they are stored Mart. They fit better in the bin.
