[Tigers] Correct Maverick Fan?

[Steve Laifman]

Tom,

The "Canadian Fan" is:

"/I found an Early Ford 6 blade fan (C4DE-8600-A), brand new in original 
box at the local Ford Agency - and got a 25% "Mustang Club" 
discount!.With the modification to a 1" center hole and end mill trimmed 
blades (about 1/2 inch) on a vertical milling machine, it fits fine. 
Watch that you still have those original motor washer-spacers between 
the block and the motor mounts to raise the engine to it's original 
height, and center the fan in the shroud. Make sure you leave them 
there, or your rack will "re-form" the fan to fit! (with sound effects 
you will not enjoy (BTDT)/"

from TigersUnited.com "Cool It, Buddy" article on the bottom nav-bar on 
every page,  "Tech Tips & HOW-TOs"

Six aluminum blades, made in Canada. The hub fits the fan.  These may be 
hard to find. Referenced in TBON.

Another old LIST "fan discussions" is found on:

and the entire thread is a good reference for comments by a great number 
of LIST "Old-Timers", many of whom are active, or "lurking" at:
