I used a 16" dia 6 blade fan from a scrap yard Pinto in '89 and trimmed it
myself to 14.25" dia.  I made a template that fitted over the rivets and
used the same tip shape as the Pinto.  Hacksawing and filing were a little
work but not too bad.  I can't read the number without dismantling the
shroud however, but I have never heard of anyone else using a fan from a
Pinto (I was looking for the elusive Maverick).
