Don, I installed an after market flex fan on my 55 Clipper. It had the larger than normal pump shaft which prevented the fan from fitting over it. I used some spacers to get the fan to mount just beyond the end of the shaft. The bolt holes in the fan were fan shaped so as to accommodate a variety of bolt patterns. I found this design to be self-centering and the fan ran true when installed.

The fan you have may not have the fan shaped bolt holes, but drilled for your pump's bolt pattern. I would think that with spacers it should work fine.

Give it a try and see what happens.
