Hi,
I did an electric fan conversion for a client about a month ago and the fan 
extension eliminator piece was not drilled out for the dowel pins on the 
harmonic dampener. We had to remove the damper and then work the dowel pins to 
get them out so the eliminator piece would bolt flush. This added a couple of 
hours to the job because you have to pull the upper cross brace and the 
steering rack (assuming that you leave the engine bolted in. Actually, we even 
undid the engine mounts.
In any case, I recall one or two different kits that were drilled out for the 
dowel pins. Am I "mis-remembering"?
As a point of reference, I have done at least five of these conversions, but 
prior to last month, it's been close to 20 years since the last install. BTW - 
getting rid of the engine-driven fan is an awesome upgrade for TR6's!!

Curious in the Garage.
