Fan housing question
Hi all
I took my fan/alternator housing out last night due to a problem its wanting to move forward thus grinding into the lower pulley, the fan strap has been tightened so much its almost pulled the captive nut off, I see a hollow pin sticking out off the block but I`m wondering should there be something else in there to lock the fan housing into position? if the answer is no any ideas why this is happening. Thanks............ 1976 Carrera 3

That pin is all there is to keep the housing from shifting.

yeah quite sure its not the alternator causing the problem had a new one fitted 1 year ago and the fan housing was wanting to creep foward before that was replaced. slightlyf of the subject is the 11 blade fan noisier than the 5 blade i have?
