That little spacer represents a lot of wasted time. The clutch that was on my car had a 2-1/4" mounting depth (I have the tape in the wrong spot in the pic, should be farther back on the mounting area, that made it 2-1/4"). EVERY place I searched, and I mean EVERYWHERE only sold one with a 1-3/4" mounting depth, with as skinny as these Mustang fan shrouds are, that little 1/2" put my fan outside of the shroud.

I literally looked everywhere, Ford, Rockauto, all the chain stores (adv, a-zone, oreillys, napa) and they all sold the shorter one and couldn't find the right one. Even the mustang forums I looked for help on were of no help. I don't know what the deal is, but this fancy $20 spacer saved my ass.
