I took some pics of my wheel fans, how they mount etc.
Ill post them here instead of hijacking that 917 thread
This is the threaded insert that mounts in the wheel center.

They used to be on a gold car
Used to be? Meaning you are going to sell them?
Are these still made? Or do you need to bottom feed at the junk yard racers supply?
Tim,
Those studs look a little on the short side
Thanks for the pictures, I never knew how those mounted.....
That "fan" setup doesn't exactly look like it moves much air.
Yeah. Straight blades
I would have to say that I think that the straight blades on these fans would be designed to create turbulence and not have to move large amount of air. Heat is discipated faster under turbulent conditions than it is under laminar flow.
Just my $0.02...
-Britain
I think Britain is right. Its not like an impeller fan.
Soooooooo...... how would "someone" go about getting two of these with hardware for a 15" wheel?
Any info is appreciated I, errr, I mean my "friend" would love a set of these for "his" front wheels....
What the heck are those?
Really....
I knew you guys would pick on my nuts
Im not sure what lug nuts they are, but I get 18mm grip,which is plenty, flush would look better though.
Actually that type fan isnt that http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/37_142.html. Looks a lil bit like the fans on the -4 engines?
I think these fell out of favor as brake technology became better.
I havent seen these for 15in wheels, you could make them or check out swap meets.
The 914 gets enough attention at track events here, having these on it makes it even more different
here are two cars with them
