I'm not sure other than get another one in the junk yard for cheap. If you drill it and put a bolt through it, it most likely will be out of balance.

Buy a fixed 1-piece fan(the plastic ones work great - that's not a joke) and a 2" spacer.

Go to a junkyard and stick the fan clutch between your back and your belt, and wear a loose fitting coat.

That's what my friend did.
