Steve,
That's great. Congratulations. I've experimented with Volvo fans from two-bladed through five-bladed and never noticed any difference in their effectiveness. So I would have been skeptical about the mechanical Flexfan if anyone had asked me. Good to know it does the job. About the hub: I had one break up on me, possibly because I had the belt too tight, but in the process of replacing it learned that metal fatigue in the hubs is not uncommon and that Volvo became aware of that and made later hubs with a more rounded edge where the cone meets the flat front . Mine is a "62 and had the earlier type with the sharper edge. Unfortunately I don't know what year they changed.
