I'm looking for a 6 blade "Tropical" fan for my TR3. I'll take a tropical fan for a TR4 if I can't find one for 3, but of course would prefer the 3. I am not interested in the plastic reproductions.
Thanks in advance,
Tom
 
I do not know how a TR3 version would differ from a TR4 version but both will be rare if genuine.

There are other TR fans that are very similar - I believe they were on early GT6s. The difference is in the size of the rivets (smaller on the GT6)

That one with the slightly smaller rivets is easier to source...

And works just fine...

Thanks Geo. I didn't know about the GT6. After passing on a couple of TR4 fans on ebay UK last spring I had several people tell me that the 4 fan will work on the Tr3. But hindsight. Still looking and of course will consider the GT6 fan too.

Got this on eBay. Seller says it came from his Morgan +4. I should have it next week. It will be interesting to see if it fits. No returns.

The yellow fan does not fit. I am still looking.
 
Yes, one of several clues I missed.
Still looking.

Looks like a square bolt pattern though. Whats up with the yellow fans?

Very similar to mine but no claims made by the seller with this one. The one I bought was yellow also. Seller claimed it came off his Plus Four Morgan. Mine had only four bolt holes, square pattern, single layer hub (TR fan hubs are double) and steel blades. I'm guessing both of these might be tractor fans, hence the yellow color.
