I don't remember the dia of mine and I'm not ready to remove the front 
grille for the sole purpose of measuring the dia of the fan blade.

However. I did pick one that was closest to the width of the radiator 
core and mounted it on the front as a pusher.   I did have to cut out a 
rectangular section out of the centre bottom of the front apron to get 
the fan to fit.   I've saved the cut out part in case a future owner 
wants to weld it back into place.

Also I added an overflow bottle from a GT6 (bottom mount).  It is 
sitting on the right side of the radiator apron right behind the black 
cardboard baffling.  It is invisible when everything is assembled.

Never let anyone drive you crazy when you know it's within walking 
distance.
