Calling Wayne..Do you have this part?

[tkrefeld]

I am looking for the rubber cover that goes on the fan nut on the rear 11 blade fan. Have those??

[Wayne 962]

It would help if you told me which car you had...

he's got the red one...

[tkrefeld]

73 911 but it has the 11 blade update. It is just a black rubber cap that goes over the nut on the fan pulley

Below is a pic of the plastic nut cap.....

There's a black nut cover that goes on there? Huh, learn something new every day

[tkrefeld]

Dialing now...

[Decolliber]

Miy 88 never had that cover.
What does it do?
Do I need it?

[KTL]

You don't need the nut cover. As you can see, most don't even know it exists.

It's basically a plastic cap that pushes over the pulley nut and covers the alt. shaft threads. Maybe to protect the shaft/threads from debris that might get slinged at it?

I'm sure the weightloss junkies will chime in and say it adds weight. Yeah. Like 2 grams or something like that. I can lose that 2 grams by spitting out my gum!

[RickM]

I found out about it when I concoured my car back in the day. It's basically a nice 2 gram finishing touch.

I have one of those in a nice carbon fiber with a tasteful Porsche crest inlay.

[Joe Bob]

Hmmmm, MY nut cover hits the wash every day....get a new one in the dresser in the morning.....

[North Coast Cab]

You'd think he would want the red cover to match the red car!
