removing the fan clutch and fan from my '63 Avanti and adding a
Flex-o-lite seven blade flex fan/....

I need a one inch spacer but can't find
one that fits the water pump.///////////////

--------------
the Avanti water pump has a bigger hole, so 
even Studebaker spacers will not work. I've always just used the fan 
clutch since I can't stand the fan noise without it anyway.


-----How about using a Stude spacer and boring the hole in the flex fan 
bigger?  Should work OK as the drill bit/ream/whatever you use should 
center itself in the existing hole as you enlarge it.

Depends on weather I can got the flex fan to work.
------
I'm thinking get a spacer for the regular solid 
fan for a Stude car *without* a clutch fan, then mod your flex fan to 
work with *that.*

I did this on my Avanti and used the Sudebaker spacer used on the non-Avanti
Studes.
-----
 had a old V8 4 bladed fan around the yard, that had a 1 inch spacer.
.I knocked the spacer off, flattened the face on a gringing wheel, and used
it.
Works and fits like a glove.
