[T3] Fan replacement for a 1967 TYPE 3

[bobsnotch at aol.com]

 I always thought the large cooling fan was a harmonic dampener. And you want the rubber intact between the fan and the hub. I would think that it being welded would cause a vibration problem, unless it's welded and balanced before the crankshaft and it's components are balanced (you'd want the entire rotating assembly balanced together). Just my take on it.Bob 65 Notch S with factory sunroof

I suppose it might be hard to balance if the two parts were not centered 
when welded. I suspect Berg is careful about this. After welding, they just 
grind weight off the appropriate part of the outer edges.
