looking for a splasher 6 fan blade, measuring 17" tip to tip. I believe they used these from 34-47. Thanks for any help! Hetsftamx1@verizon.net  (drop the Het.)

    You can use any fan blade assembly from '34-'55... Preferably use the later models ('54 onwards) as they are stronger, quieter, and shift more air.

    I can't use anything bigger than a 17". This Hudson fan I have is 18" and will rub the hood on this little 32 Terraplane. So, whatever years used 17" is what I'm after.

    Jet fan is 17".   Hornet is 18".   Not a big job to trim half an inch off the end of each blade.

    I was worried about affecting the balance of the assembly by trimming....

    My 1934 fan has 4 blades not 6. It's made up of 2 crossed "propellers" held together by 4 bolts. I think this is original equipment.

    I don't think Hudson ever used a 6 blade fan.

    That fan would sound like a turbo-prop aircraft taking off.
