What to do with the clutch fan pulley?

Hi guys,

My Zed is sporting a new look at the moment...



Doing a little bit of work on it at the moment including:

- Fitting a new PWR radiator and thermo
- Polishing water pipes and replacing little bypass hoses
- Fitting a FMIC
- Fitting the new Greddy Urethane frontbar
- Fixing a whole lot of ugly wiring round the engine bay
- Relocating PTU
- CC, AIV and PRVR delete
- Replacing water hoses to firewall
- Fitting Chili MCB when it arrives
- Replacing PCVs
- Possibly EGR delete if my stumpy little hands will fit in the gaps!


I am currently up to replacing the radiator with the PWR and thermo fan.

When I take the clutch fan off to use the thermo (no thermo comments please... We will see!), can I remove the big spikey looking mount for the fan and just leave the pulley on (as below) or will this throw off the fan speed? Should I be keeping said spikey thing on/getting a new pulley?

Any other recommendations on things I should be doing?

(Check out the crud on my water pipes...)

 

that will be fine like that, with a thermo fan.

 

That's how I got mine setup, no problems so far.

 

Cheers for the replies gentlemen,

I'll make sure its bolted nice and tight and all is well.

Pics will be up when its all done...
