I never understood why Porsche designe the fan with just 4 brackets…

old compound, many heat cycles, abrasive dirt and vibrations will harm the fan a lot
Water and road debris combine to create an electrolyte and that causes the corrosion damage. I have seen aircraft parts cast from magnesium that were 75 years old and still looked like new. They were treated with a conversion coating (Dow #7)and painted with zinc chromate paint. Unless a conversion process is used, nothing, repeat nothing will adhere to the surface, you will be JB Welding beach sand to the beach.
