I took the Midget to a local open car show and my car won 1st place in the Foreign Car Class. That was nice but I had a failure driving to the car show. Without any warning the fan and fan clutch assembly came loose from the water pump pulley and was hitting the radiator. I couldn't remove the fan & clutch assembly at the car show and stuffed a rag between the fan & radiator so no further damage would be done to the radiator. I limped the car home.
Has anyone with a 1500 Midget seen this problem? I'll remove the radiator and fan/fan clutch assembly this coming week to see if I can determine what part failed. If anyone has any information on why this failure occurred I would like to know. I can't determine what actually holds the clutch assembly to the water pump. I noticed that Moss or VB don't list a radiator for a 76 Midget. I may have to replace the radiator if the fan & clutch caused major damage to the radiator. It isn't leaking but the fins are really bent. I may also need to find a new or good used plastic fan. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif
