Hi all, just finished my latest project and I am looking for a new one. Prefer a series one project, but would look into any solid mostly Rust free 240 Z. Serious cash buyer. Garypatel@aol.com
I prefer to restore these cars to as original as possible. I guess I’m just hardheaded that way. I’m a little leery of buying anything off of eBay because it’s a 50-50 shot whether it’s going to work or not. Don’t want the same thing That happened 20 years ago because of a defective fan clutch. This car is a Texas car and has almost no rust whatsoever. Here’s a pic of the fan That came with it. I know somewhere out there there’s either a good used one or preferably a new one that will work. I have time because Z therapy carbs are about a month and a half to two months out and engine will be at machine shop for six weeks
These clutches are welded shut and not rebuildable. The main shaft by the Thermo spring is broken internally. This is what overheated the car causing to sit for over 20 years. Have a friend at O’Reilly‘s and we try to match one up without luck.
One other thing, this fan is black. Does not look like it’s ever been repainted. I have only seen white metal fans. has anybody ever seen a black fan from the factory?
Hi all, I am working on number 5638 1970 series one And need a fan clutch for a metal fan. I have a pristine fan blade however I could not find a new or used good fan clutch. Any help would be appreciated
