Personally, rather than a fan spacer for a mopar fan, I'd just like a six blade fan that fits; one that has been machined to fit the stock setup. Is that possible?

For a new steel just bolt it on fan, then --so far at least-- I think the possible options may be limited to the modified Mopar I mentioned in this threadhttps://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=83656#forumpost83656

Have been looking in several places since that post and while many have steel 6 blade fans, to date all I can find that look promising for us all have the slots and the small hole or a large hole and a different bolt pattern designed for a thermostatic clutch. That fan would have it's own issues and would need a different adapter.

To find out for sure if this Mopar would work, it is going to take someone spending $70 to buy it, carefully measuring or comparing to a Packard fan, and then if things look promising either doing or sending to someone and having the center hole cut and the bolt holes elongated. If I needed a fan, would consider doing it but otherwise don't see many alternatives at present.

Quite honestly while it would be fairly low volume, a fan or adapter kit would not be expensive and I think might be a project for a region.
