Flex-a-lite 2 Inch Mill Finish Fan Spacer Kit - Aluminum spacer with hardware, prevents fan center stress

If you remove a fan clutch or are installing a Flex-A-Lite belt-driven fan, correct spacing between the fan and radiator is crucial for efficient cooling and to avoid concentrated loads that crack the fan center star. This kit provides a durable, machined aluminum spacer with hardware, designed to distribute load and set the fan at the proper distance from the engine and radiator. It’s finished in mill aluminum for corrosion resistance and comes backed by a one-year manufacturer warranty.

How does this spacer prevent fan center stress and cracking?

The spacer has a large, continuous load-bearing surface that spreads clamp force over a wider area of the fan hub. Machined exterior edges are given a soft radius to remove sharp contact points, which lowers the risk of stress concentration on the plastic or composite fan center star.

• Large load-bearing face reduces point loading
• Soft-radius machining eliminates sharp contact edges
• Aluminum construction resists deformation under clamp torque

When do I need this kit for my belt-driven fan assembly?

This spacer is required for proper installation of many Flex-A-Lite belt-driven fan setups and is especially important when the fan clutch is removed. It restores the correct spacing and alignment between the fan and the engine drive components to maintain efficient airflow.

• Needed when eliminating a belt-driven fan clutch
• Required for certain Flex-A-Lite belt-driven fan installations
• Includes hardware to simplify retrofit installations

What hardware and fitment features are included in the kit?

The kit ships with the spacer plus 5/16-inch bolts and washers needed to fasten the fan to the spacer and the assembly to the drive hub. The spacer’s mill finish and precise machining help ensure consistent fitment and torque distribution across installations.

• Comes with 5/16-inch bolts and washers for direct installation
• Machined for correct alignment and consistent torque transfer
• Mill aluminum finish for basic corrosion resistance and durability

How does a one-year warranty support my purchase?

The included one-year manufacturer warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use, giving you a limited period to verify fit and performance. It’s not a substitute for proper installation, but it helps protect your investment if the spacer fails prematurely.

• One-year coverage against manufacturing defects
• Supports confident installation and testing period
• Warranty details provided by Flex-A-Lite—retain purchase proof

Who is this for: This spacer kit is aimed at automotive DIYers, restorers, and performance shops working with belt-driven cooling systems who need a reliable, machined spacer to maintain correct fan spacing—especially when converting away from a fan clutch or installing Flex-A-Lite components. If you value straightforward hardware, reduced fan stress, and dependable fitment, this kit provides a practical, warranty-backed solution.
