Thats really right, these spitfire fans are only on the waterpump of spitfire. But the size of these Fans are the same like the 311868 Fans of vitesse, only with smaller holes. Thats why I have make larger holes in the fan to fit ob vitesse crankshaft (see my photo). I just wanted to show my solution if anybody have no enough space between the radiator and crankshaft for the larger fan from the Mk2 vitesse Mike me. Thats all what I want, it was a great conversation with you, See you

Sorry, no Ford, its defintly a Spitfire fan, please look at the partnunber Regards Bernd

Hello johny, Look with the partnumber rkc2126 These fans are several around, also in some spitfire in our spitfire Club here in Berlin. I think that are produce some more different looking fans for the spitfire 71-74 around.

Hello everyone, I have discovered through my many parts that the 7 bladed fan of a Triumph Spitfire Seven Blade Fan 1971-1974 (RKC2126) is the same as the Vitesse fan 311868 I just had to relocate the holes, see picture. Maybe it helps someone else with the same problem, thank you all for your messages

Hello KevinR, the article is very interesting and helpful thank you very much, i'd better check which spacer i have

Hello Dick, that is exactly my problem. Because I can't find a new/used fan 311868. Johny told me for the first time for me, that I need the smaller fanspacer and the smaller Bolt into the crankshaft. I have look for these two parts in the Internet and at triumph suppliers but I can't find the smaller spacer and bolt too. If I would find used parts,I were be happy and could drive again Maybe someone in the forum has these parts and will sell them to me and send them to Berlin. that would be great. regards Bernd

Thanks, that I haven't know before

Now, i have unterstand. The 8 blade fan can i take if i also take the thinner mounting spacer of the mk2 vitesse and than i have enough Space between the 8 blade fan and the cooler Thank you all for your explanations. then i will have to get the thinner spacer and the center crankshaft Bolt. Regards Bernd

Thank you i do two picture of mine two fans 311868 (Which is broken) and a picture of 308353 and Show the different thickness regards Bernd

Thanks for the Infos. The 308353 doesn't fit in my car. Because this one is greater (avout 4cm) than 311868. In order to install the 308353 in my car, the engine and gearbox would have to be moved back by about 4 cm. this is only possible if the cardan shaft is shortened. That's too expensive, so I'm looking for a used 7 blade fan 311868, Regards Bernd

Hello, I'm from Berlin, Germany. My cooling fan is broken. I looking for a 7 blade fan, Not the bigger one. My fan has the partnumber 311868. This is what i need. Thank you ans have a nice day!
