At the risk of being repetitive- - - - -you have plenty of room to install a clutch fan. Just eliminate the spacer. If the centering button enters the fan hub at all, even 1/8", it will do its job. The BOLTS hold the fan on, not the centering button.

NEVER, EVER, CUT A FAN BLADE FOR ANY REASON! IT'S DEADLY DANGEROUS!

You could also drill and tap the centering button for a bolt and a flat washer. A little red LocTite will make the spacer and the fan blade a single piece installation.
