    Orange County truck and car shop sells this fan blade in 17 and 18 inches blade length. Will it fit the newer shortshaft pump on the 235 ? Space between radiator and blade is quite narrow with original style fan blade !!

    Replacement style, non clutch type.
    55-072012 6-blade, 17", black
    55-072013 6-blade, 18", black

    None of those Chinese reproduction fan blades fit anything.

    You need to get one of the "Blow Hard 5150" fan blades for the short 235 pumps.

    Fan 7 bladed

    Joe thanks for the information. Anyone knows if Blow Hard is a spesific brand or just the nick name ? I have a thought it will produce better cooling then the original 4 bladed ? I will look in to it.
