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!!

Easy peasy....

I've used Rick Patton's eliminator kit on both my TR6 and my TR3.
Very simple, straightforward with good directions, too.
