5kw gererac generator fan?

The fan is part of the rotor and not sold seperately even if it would come apart. Any thoughts on the type of epoxy to use? It is a plastic material. The fins are intact, only the mounting points (2) failed.

    Check at a small engine repair shop for a used part. eBay often has used generator rotors available. I expect any glue or epoxy would not last very long. It will unbalance the rotor causing a vibration which will shake the repair apart in short order.

    I'm not sure if an epoxy would hold but certainly worth a try, I'm not sure when to purchase it but I do know of an epoxy that would probably do the trick. It is a two part epoxy called (Two-part TRA-BOND 2170T). Like I already mentioned, not sure where to purchase it but if you can get some I think you would get good results. Good luck...

    JB weld is the best two-part epoxy that I have ever found. It can be purchased at any parts supply house. If JB weld does not hold it, it cannot be fixed.

    seems such as you're as decrease priced as i'm. attempt epoxy, then purchase a decrease priced fan plug it into the generator recpt and purpose it on the area the place the old one replaced into. you will nevertheless be shifting warmth faraway from the windings and that's all you opt on, besides.
