Fan drive

luvrbus · November 17, 2021, 08:11:55 AM

Didn't the OEM fan have a flange on the fan that fits inside the drive to center it up with 6 bolts for the direct drive and the torus used a outside flange for the fan center ?

Measured the lip diameter that centers fan blade. 3.675" provides a nice fit with hole in fan.

Sorry for being so slow about getting you pictures.

Hope you can get some idea of how Huggy has her fan driven.

Took a lot of experimenting and plenty of money and time to get right.

good luck with your work.

you can actually put a torus drive on the 4104 6-71. We did that years ago. Took it off an old look city bus. didn't use that long extension like 8v-71.

RJ did you forget me? I haven't heard back from Luke either. Sure want to get a torus assy to end this problem

olebusman · December 06, 2021, 09:41:44 AM

Well, I guess nobody on the board has a torus assy. Anybody have any suggestions on where to look

chessie4905 · December 06, 2021, 09:56:59 AM

chessie4905, I've talked to Luke 3 times with no call back. I must have made him mad about something. Van, I sent a message to Tal Cook House of rust. Still waiting for a reply.

olebusman · December 08, 2021, 10:26:49 AM

Van. I called Goodsons which sent me to Cardinal coach which sent me to Bell Town Recycling. So far no luck. Still waiting for a reply from Tal Cook

Lol tal cook is quite the fellow. Somehow he's mad at me right now, cause I was pricing out radiators, and didn't want his. And now he's mad at me

since you have the 6v92, the torus will probably be run in full lock up all the time. lockup is not the correct term, but with higher output engines, most have bypassed the Vernatherm and plumbed the oil lines together. Maybe you could post a few pictures of what your current setup looks like. Is the main casting off the block including the oil filter also like 8v71's?

Been thinking about your dilemma some more. Since you are in Florida, I would see if you can remove all the rubber cushion, clean those surfaces by sand or glass media blasting, and contacting one or more urethane molding companies in Florida and see if one can inject molten urethane into the former cavity. Trim it up and should work fine. The critical part would be getting the inner part exactly centered. Or maybe see if one of them would be interested before you remove the rubber part.

The guys on the 4106 FB page should have one ? have you asked there
