At the risk of losing this auction to another AULROvian, is this the right viscous fan to adapt into a 200tdi Disco?

I've done a fair bit of research, mostly on this site and I know that an XF/EA viscous fan will bolt on but the blades will need to be trimmed. I got hold of an EB fan, but it's hub centre was a fair bit bigger than this one, and it had 10 blades instead of 8. If I cut the EB blades down to fit, they'd be too short to do any good. The only XF one I could find in Darwin had cracks in the fan.

Thanks for your help!

I used a falcon viscous on my 89 RR, 3.5
But i used the RR fan, i just had to drill the holes on the fan a bit bigger to line up with the Falcon viscous.
Used some bigger washers and used some locktight. never had a problem since
