Fan Hub Bolt Needed
While re-assembling my fan hub and pulley on my 51 F1, I manage to snap a bolt in half. I went out today doing a search and find with no luck.
Does anyone one know where I can get a bolt?
The shop manual says it is a 1 1/4" long x 12-32 threads. The hex head is 3/8"
Thanks,
Scott in Texas

Where do you see it in the manual (Parts CD)? I think they are longer than 1.25", I have one apart and will measure. I think the 12-32 is right, unfortunately. You might check with The Ford Bolt Man, Roy Nacewicz Enterprises Ltd - Ford Bolts

The bearing fan spindle gave out on mine last summer and NOBODY had that part anywhere. I finally found a used assembly from a local guy that I had to take apart and rebuild. I saw a couple of used one's later that sold on eBay for close to $100 each.

But Mark, if the whole hub assembly is good, they are no longer made either, so they are scarce.

Unless someone comes up with one, I'd see if you can use a 1/4-28. It's barely larger but enough you could probably re-tap the horseshoe retainer. There are threads on multiple sites going back 10 years by people looking for them, no one had any luck. Some old rifles used them in 1"-long for scope mounts, but they go for $18 - $20 EACH....

Thanks Ross, That is probably the route I will be taking.
