Re: Fan Clutch R & R
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: smoke' em II</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Amazing, looks way better than the NOS pieces that I have seen!!! Can you tell that it has been taken apart at all? I was getting ready to send one of my original Eaton fan clutches to Kirk, but was trying to figure out if you can tell that the front plate was removed and welded/ brazed back on.

It is only the process to repair the original crimped down lip which is either broken or fractured when disassembling the units.
