One more related item I might add: recently I had a fan rubbing problem. Same
fan/alt/everything. Just replaced the stand gasket. Turns out the aftermarket
stand stud holes are drilled out a little big, and that prevented if from
lining up properly. I loosened everything, tightened the strap, then tightened
the stand nuts and it fell I to place properly.
