That's an interesting piece of information!
So now I have to find an MG dealer, who can deliver me a plastic fan.
My 1971 imported in 1990 to the Netherlands from California still has the
metal blades...
I once read a story of a broke metal fan blade protruding through the bonnet
(hood).
Cheers,

In 1972, MG issued a service bulletin that said all the cars with metal
fans should have them replaced by the dealer, at no cost, by the plastic
fan. When I came across the bulletin, a couple of years back, I bought a
plastic fan and replaced the metal one.
Plastic fan seems to move more air and to be quieter too. As I always
keep fan belt very loose, I found its lower weight reduced squeal when
jabbing the throttle.
If the electric fan moves more air than the OEM metal one, why not remove
the metal one? Unless the two are moving air at exactly the same velocity,
one fan will be interfering with the other, not enough to cause this
overheating, but unnecessary.
