    fan clutch fluid

    i found this in archives:

    From personal experience, Jack. It's easy to add fluid. I found an original fan clutch that had been sitting around and had lost some of its fluid. I found the correct fluid at a toy supply company. I removed one of the four threaded studs which opened up the cavity, added the fluid, put a little silicon on the stud and replaced the stud so that it would seal. The whole operation took about 15 minutes, and it has worked just fine ever since.

    i took out 2 studs so far on my '63 but they both appear to be blind holes and do not enter the cavity. anyone ever tried it?

    thanks

      As a foot note, I bought the 3000 cst silicone at the rc hobby shop for $4.00 and I could probably do this 15 more times. An awful cheap repair!


      they use it for diff fluid.
