ideas how to make cooling fan adjustment
My radiator cooling fan blades are rubbing against the bracket/housing,
apparently because the plastic bracket has sagged a little with age. The
holes for mounting the fan to the bracket are just holes, not slots, so there
is no built-in adjustability there. Should I enlarge the mounting holes so I
can reposition the fan? My fear is that I will not be able to tighten the
mounting bolts enough against the plastic to keep the fan from working back
down. Should I trim the fan blades? If the trim is not uniform, I may end up
with vibration. Any other ideas, besides replacing the bracket housing? TIA.
