On mine the hole in the washer is the same diameter as the shaft so it won't go fully home as the shaft itself has a curved fillet on the base.To follow on re the colour - this was discussed at length once before on the Forum. My understanding was Austin didn't paint them until the 4-bladed type came into being, but because as jansens said, the two-bladed ones that are red may not be original, we'll probably never know for sure. I've worked on dozens of vintage Sevens and never found traces of red paint on any of the fans. There would have to be instances where the first owner painted them themselves? Cheers,l Bill in Oz
This is all assembled form mismatched second hand parts so I am not sure the ones I have are correct.
I have an old 2 blade fan with traces of red on it. Not sure that's original though,
