Like the title says, who is currently doing this? I used to use "Pampered Corvette" but understand they no longer do this. Any input is appreciated.

I have both....an origional # 2806070 fan clutch from my RS23V0A****** GTX and a reproduction unit (from Tony's Parts) with part numbers and date coded as the origional, dimensions, seal color, weight, fin count and appearance, drive shaft coloration and hardware....it would be next to impossible to tell one from the other....without prior knowledge. I just brought it up as a addition consideration.A rebuilt unit will likely cost twice as much as the current reproduction. (part + rebuild service) A price many are willing to pay for correct detail. A more accurate statement would be: The reproductions resemble the originals in most regards, not all.
The difference is obvious once you place it next to an original. OEM judges know exactly what to look for when installed on the car. BTW, it has nothing to do with the front face of the assembly. I am happy there are choices we can make in the hobby. I will choose a restored original over the reproduction until they are no longer restored.
Hence the reason for my post.

WHY not just install a new reproduction clutch assembly?
Because you don't know how **** Darrin is and how much attention to every detail he gives his cars, lol.
