All covered in the workshop manual. Per Section C, part 27 in the TR2/3
workshop manual, use one balance piece to adjust the balance of the
fan/extension assembly, before installing on the car.

Makes no sense to use two, but you could probably get by with none.

Which lockplate are you talking about ? There should be one large round
plate for the center bolt/crank dog, and two smaller plates for the smaller
bolts that hold the fan on. Check your order, TRF may have made a mistake.

Where does it say that ?
I'm looking at a TR2/3 workshop manual ... but AFAIK the TR4 fan was the
same.

That's what you use the shims for, to get the crank dog positioned that way
with #1 cylinder at TDC. But if you don't plan to hand-start the engine,
this step can be left out (or just put back the shims you found there).
