I talked to Fred and sent him my Challenger fan clutch back in September. I believe that number was the correct one for him. Best time to call is on the weekend.
He told me he is really backed up with fan clutches, something like 100 in process, and this is his side business. So he can only work so fast. He told me to expect 8+ months if I wanted him to do my clutch. I'm not in a big hurry and he is supposed to be the best, but I just thought you should know. If you wanted to have your part ready by spring he may not be able to have it ready by then.

I have called Fred at least 5 times over the last 2 years with no call back.

With as much business as he has, I guess there was no need to call me back.



Good Luck!!!

Rebuilding a fan clutch requires some pretty special tooling and knowledge. He's the only source I know of doing OE restorations on fan clutches.

Based on the conversations I've had with him on the phone he's a good guy, I don't see why you wouldn't get your clutch returned (restored or otherwise) eventually.
