Welcome to the House of pain.....That strap is the biggest pain in the *** that I encounter with a 911 fan....

The strap should come from a 82-88 911, they work best. I cut the strap in half and use the mormon clamp to join the 2 halves at the 12 o clock point of the fan assembly. You can look at the pics of it on my site on some completed engines.

The machine work on the right case half is super important for the correct placement of the strap in the center of the fan ring and must be done with no errors.

This strap can take a solid day to goof with to do the right way, thats how llong it takes me everytime....

The stock 911 strap is the only way to go, as the other shrouds that use a machined ring have straps that are too short.

I do this all the time, and absolutely hate it. I have to do one tomorrow and I'm not looking forward to it.
