I have a slight dilemma. I went to a Saginaw power steering pump and now one of my Derale electric fan motors BARELY clears the new PS pump pulley.
As it sits now there is about a 1/16" clearance if that. My thought is to tap a small dent in the electric motor cover, I only need a little more than an 1/8" and it will be good.
I was wondering it anyone has had one of these motors apart? It looks like a thin steel or aluminum cover, I imagine there are some motor windings and a shaft inside.
It would save me quite a bit of time if I could perform the tap method vs taking the fan assembly and radiator apart.
Ideas/suggestions? Thanks
