Mid year 62 clutch fan

It seems it should be the smooth face and not the lumpy, but does it have the small retaining spring on the front?

Yes. As per jg and Restorer article.

Mike,
The jg references the lumpy face as late, so I assume a March car is smooth, but the JG doesn't reference the spring. So, with spring or without?

Robert, FWIW your Picture #1 is like my #00029 and Picture #2 is like my #10975.

Re: Mid year 62 clutch fan

So, am I to conclude that both are correct?

Other than the stamping, the only difference I see in these two clutches is a slight difference in the orientation of the two "half circle" cut-outs. I doubt this orientation is critical, at all, to functionality and, thus, it may have varied from one piece to another on a random basis.

You need the one without the small "hairpin" spring.

I assumed, perhaps incorrectly, that the small retainer spring had just fallen off the example shown without one.

The hairpin was generally a 60-early 61 application.

That's what I was looking for.
Thanks
