Good tip, you should send it in to the Communique.  The plastic fans are no longer availble to replace the metal ones so we are all going to have to start repairing the metal ones.

  I replaced the blower motor in the 69 yesterday... I found it had a plastic  
  fan with 3 hickory nut shells rolling around in it... it was making a lot of  
  racket, like the metal fans when they get loose from the hub...
  Speaking of fan hub repair... I have a way for repairing those... get  a 
  large deep well socket, big enough that the top part of the hub will match the  
  diameter of the socket. Turn the fan upside down and take a dull chisel or flat  
  blade screwdriver and small hammer and tap the outer hub's diameter,  
  snugging up the hub to the fan... you can even tap it hard enough to put a small  
  dent in maybe two places and that hub will NEVER come lose again.
