I just reused the OE fan. I drilled out the stripped threads and used a larger self tapping screw/bolt. My fan shroud arrived. I'll install it this weekend. This has been a mild summer so far. It's mostly below 90.

I don't see the problem with people giving me ideas via PMs. Some people don't want to post as even though this forum is much more civil than most, given the age of our cars and our average age and hopefully the maturity that goes with it, occasionally pissing contests do occur.
