Fan Pulley Assembly - Bryan Downes - 12-11-2019
Does anyone know the correct order of assembly for the1929 1930 fan pulley? I am fitting a new fan pulley and felt seal. The Austin Spare Parts Book diagram is vague. The John Platts drawing shows a washer behind the fan and felt seal. There is a radius turned into the spindle to take account of! A simple job turning out to be more time consuming than I thought! Any ideas?

Neither of my cars (1930 & 1934) have the washer you refer to, the felt seal bears directly against the chamfered edge (which is nice & shiny), all fits together fine and was like it before I got both cars (at separate times).
I have recently put loctite thread lock on the fan screws, I had a problem recently when a screw made a bid for freedom and had an unfortunate encounter with the radiator core... fortunately, a new core was going to be on the cards anyway due to disintegration of the cooling fins (attacked by the salt), forced the issue and meant that I could attend to other matters as well, so turned a negative into a positive!
