    Fan Clutch Rebuild

    I have a fan clutch off of my 71 BB that needs rebuilding. I know Fred olivia rebuilds clutchs and have heard of another fellow at pampered glass corvettes that also does rebuilds. Any comments on quality of work and response time for these two rebuilders. Any otheres out there you would recomend?
    Thanks in advance Sheldon

    Am not aware of anyone but Fred Olivia. Have had several done by him over the years. Top notch work

      Re: Fan Clutch Rebuild

      As has been commented on in prior threads (see archives), Fred Oliva has had some problems over the last year (all remedied now) that resulted in a MAJOR backlog queue. The last I heard he was making progress working his way out of the backlog situation but was still quoting 1-year turnaround...

      On the second source you mention, I have no information and can't say I've seen the work product. I think I'd be a bit warry as the job Fred does is reasonably tricky requiring the 'correct' bearing and 'proper' clutch lubricant to make the restoration cluch work like it should. Remember, that's a significant 'chunk' of iron the fan clutch is supporting under the hood and if she lets go while you're driving the car.....well, it's NOT good...
