Its cooling the alt itself fella. Leave it be i would.

[richi]

looking at a alty that doesnt have one on, are they easy to fit then?

it doesn't necessarily have to be star shaped,it can be a plain disc with vanes on the back of it.its a centrifugal fan so if u put your hand near it while its running u should feel air blowing from it!!
