<VV> Cut- Down Fan

[Rick & Janet Norris]

Well Hey,
All this wind about fans and talk of experienced Corvair persons overlooking 
the obvious brings to mind something I did last week.
I currently have the whole works out of my 69 to change the flywheel along 
with a "hundred" other "while it's out" things. I replaced the upper fan 
bearing and housing and after torquing it all down I grabbed the  chromed 
"turkey roaster" and began bolting it on and admiring how nice and shiney it 
looked.
After tightening the last bolt I kind of stepped back to get a better look 
at my handy work when something didn't look right. Then the obvious hit me. 
I forgot to bolt the fan on first! Now, I am no novice to Corvair wrenching 
but how OBVIUOS was that? As I was chuckling at my omission I thought, I 
wonder how many other well experienced Corvair mechanics have done the same 
thing? Well? I'm sure I'm not alone here!
