Are you able to give the chassis number you're inquiring about. Is it pre-viscous-fan-clutch? Which item on these two illustrations are you asking about?:  Brian | ||

Hello Brian, I'm talking about item 40 - the chassis number is approximately 3400, as I recall. Regards (Message approved by david_gore) | ||

James, You're talking about a chassis number earlier than any I've dealt with, so I don't know exactly what space you're dealing with. Download the RR & Bentley Parts, Repair, Restoration & Other Resources Compilation and search for "Substitute Fan Clutch." Although the two entries are for chassis numbers higher than yours, if you look at the thread related to the Shadow II, and look at how someone other than myself solved the problem of the unusual fan mounting hole arrangement by having an adapter ring machined, you might find you can use the Hayden 2747 employing a similar solution. It's certainly less expensive, and less frustrating in the long run, if you have an adapter made that allows you to fit more commonly available viscous fan clutches. I found the combination of the Derale fan blades and Hayden fan clutch I ended up using on my Silver Wraith II via trial and error. You might be the person who finds the same as far as a fan clutch for the early SY series cars. Brian |
