Today I was able to proceed with the fan. I could borrow the tool to set the rivets. After a few Test rivets I set the "real ones". To have a good solid fixation to hit the rivets, I made an massive aluminum counter part as seat for the hub.






It went easier than I expected. Looks quite nice. Only 3-4 hits with the tool and done



And of course test fit to check how it looks, I like it.



The hub is an aluminum replacement. Nice made BUT the rivets needed are not 72° as stock but 90°. No issue so far, but I expect if someone sells replacement which need different hardware, he should inform. For this reason I have now a lot of both versions

When I want to check the amount of shims needed I fitted a new belt. Bought according parts catalogue 710mm but it's way to long. Checked the old one: 700mm?? How this can be? Checked other suppliers like PP, FVD, all the same. 710mm. The only thing left is the Smartracing pulley on the crankshaft, I thought it's the same diameter than stock, but have no stock one to measure... However it is like it is, have to buy a 700mm.
