Slits sent me a fan for Waide's engine and it doesn't fit inside the housing.
As far as I'm aware, there are only two sizes: 245mm and 226mm ('78-'79 only) I have a 245mm housing. This fan appears to measure 250mm, but I'm unaware of anything over 245mm ever being produced. All of the 245mm (early, late and 5-blade) are interchangable. Ron sent an early style 11-blade. It should fit. Liz's early 11-blade does fit. Anyone? Attached image(s)

I was hoping it was a part off of 114.
Slits could eBay it for $$$$. I did notice the casting looked rough, but why can't I find ANY reference to this size fan? |

I have the ring .... he didn't request it.
I didn't sell it .... I just sent what he asked for. Now, if the fan was in an engine fire would it swell 5 mm? I am headed to the parts stash to get the number off the ring, but as I remember it was 3R. |

Hot enough to swell=Hot enough to melt IMO. So I don't think so.
The fans should be magnesium. How can I tell this is aluminum without filing it? I can tell the difference between mag and aluminum when I file it, but otherwise???? |

I believe there was also a 250mm. Rare though. Great thread here:
