My 4A had the aluminum fan extention and yellow plastic fan installed when
I bought it 5 years ago.  The yellow plastic fan has a little cylindrical
shaped peg like thing molded into it that fits in the 1/2" hole and locks
the fan to the hub so it spins at engine speed.  I bought a new plastic fan
from TRF and it did not have this peg, but had four 1/2" holes drilled
around the center hole.  I had to make up a little piece that would fit in
both holes to lock the fan to the hub.

I have now run into a new problem.  The fan is really close to my recently
re-cored radiator.  Anyone know how close is too close?  There is currently
about a 1/2" gap.
