This one-inch spacer creates the precise offset needed for proper fan alignment in Flex-A-Lite belt-driven fan systems. Machined from aluminum with a radiused edge and a wide load-bearing face, it reduces point loading on the fan center star and helps prevent stress cracks while improving clearance and airflow performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the spacer protect my fan and radiator?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy increasing the distance between the fan hub and its mounting surface, the spacer spreads load over a larger area and eliminates sharp contact points. The radiused edge is finished to minimize stress concentrations that can lead to cracking in the fan center star.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLarge load-bearing surface reduces concentrated pressure on the fan hub.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSoft radius machined around edges prevents stress risers and cracking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAluminum construction resists corrosion while remaining lightweight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse with original bolts\/washers included for secure installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill I need more than one spacer to get the right clearance?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the kit is modular so installers can stack up to three 1-inch spacers to achieve the desired offset.
