[xj-s] Broke alternator fan now what?

XJ-S
1

I dropped the alternator today while removing it and chunk of
the fan broke off.

I have no idea what to do now. How will this affect things?
Where could I get a new one, preferably fast? Could I just
put it on for now until I get a new one?

So mad at myself for doing this. Still can’t believe it.–

Break off, or cut off a similar size chunk opposite of the
one that’s missing.–

Cut off a piece on the opposite side to balance it. It’ll be fine.
