If a fan can be faound that has the rite BOLT pattern but a center hole that is too small then patient HAND fileing of the fan center hole will work just fine. Probably about an hours worth of work.

I used the spacer and machine cut it to fit water pump hub because i wanted the fan closer to radiator and had a mill/rotary index table available to me at the time.

at this point i believe a fan SHROUD is the best way to go and forget about 6 blade fans. However i have not been able to find any kind of MODERN PLASTIC PRODUCTION shroud that can be cut to fit. I've tried at least 8 different such shrouds over the last 8 - 10 years. Mounting and clearing lower hose and centering of madern fan shrouds seem to be a problem because most modern shrouds are for cross flows.
