Kirby asked me for more info on my fan clutch, so here it is: diameter: 7 1/4 " on the radiator side there's inked on (stamped ) "JG" and "E260" on the engine side, near one of the holes for the fan bolts, is a tiny elongated diamond shape cast into the metal, with the letters DC inside it, (separated by a small line that essentially divides the diamond shape into two halves). this clutch fits my new (XJ6) fan perfectly. The new fan appears identical to the one I took out, with one change: the steel center section is drilled with twelve approx. 3/4" holes in addition to the four bolt holes and single 1/4" mystery hole that are in the old fan. My theory is that these are for increased cooling of the center section. The old fan's cracks are clearly from the expansion of the steel center and/or the shrinkage of the plastic "ring" of the fan. Hope this is useful. Anyone w/info on the possible origins of the fan clutch, please post. TIA- jb
