With all due respect Steven, I think you didn't push hard enough. The yellow
fan fit my TR4 and worked fabulously. When you turn it around it is a very
tight fit over the hub and may even need some gentle pursuasion depending on
the trueness(?) of your hub casting. Persevere and you will be rewarded! I
found it to be quieter and much more efficient and would recommend it to every
early TR owner. (By the way, much easier to do before installing the rad!)

Dave, I don't know whether a TR4A is different, but it definitely DID NOT
fit backwards on my early TR4. Possible the TR4A fan hub assembly is
smaller diameter, but TRF said it would fit, and it wouldn't. I can confirm
measurements if you need them -- I have the hub on my car, and the
yellow fan hanging decoratively on my garage wall.
