Mike,
Okay, this is relatively easy to fix. Pop the outer spring clamps off the
heater assembly to gain access to the fan. Examine the fan blades to see
exactly where the blade or blades are hitting. It may be as simple as gently
bending a blade back into alignment. If it's all the blades hitting, and
they all look even to each other, the fan may have slipped on the shaft. The
fan is positioned on the motor shaft with a locking collet nut. Ths can be
easily loosened and the fan adjusted so it will clear everything. Reassemble
the cover and test for clearance.
Please don't contaminate your Healey with other foreign crap. She won't like
it at all!
