The water pump on my '72 Scout started to leak. Since the OEM fan
clutch is unfindable I decided to go with a pump that uses a bolt-
on clutch, but the clutch I ended up with has a larger bolt circle
and centering boss than the OEM fan.

 
 
Did you try Rockauto? Maybe:

That looks broadly like the clutch I got with the new water pump.
But, no dimensions or even a good description.

If there's a way to search parts by category and description please

Which engine do you have? most 1972 Scouts used AMC engines - 194, 232
or 258 inch sixes and most 304 V8s were AMC - so AMC clutches and fans
dhould likely fit????
