THINK I BOUGHT A LEMON!!!

Falcons in the 90s were sold with left hand AND right hand rotation fans, with drive hub threads to match, depending on 6 cyl or V8 application. LRs had both too, pre and post serpentine belt drive. Someone simply stuffed up during the refit. The LR fan sometimes loses blades, especially if someone drops a spanner in the works.:angel:

Glad to hear its getter better .

Under closer inspection you could see where they cut the tips off because of being to long :eek: & yeah the pitch (?) was the wrong way. Interesting to note the viscous hub is the same, Ah well live & learn :D

Apparently it all has to do if what belt system you have, serpentine or a V belt plus air-con or not. As with mine being serpentine & air-con the belt runs under the water pump pulley. :D
