I've asked Macy's to explain their installation instructions, but I'm anxious to get this car back together and drive it.
The kit has eight rubber grommets and four steel sleeves to put into the fan hub and spacer, plus flat washers, and two locking devices. I can't seem to get the rubber grommets and steel sleeves put together with the fan and spacer - they are really a tight fit. I first tried WD40, then putting the rubber grommets in hot water, no go. The whole unit put together is too thick for one of the locking devices (the one with the hexagonal hole) to work. As per the instructions, the fan is thinner than the stock fan, thus the spacer, but it goes in front of the fan, why not use shorter bolts (but it doesn't appear that the bolts will stick out too far in the back of the fan extension.
So - who has put one of these onto a TR3/4 engine and can explain how to do it?
Thanks, in advance,
