I'm looking for another one of these:
They might be less efficient than modern blades, but this is what my car left the factory with, so I'd like to replicate on both fans.
Anyone got one they don't want and we can deal on?

I'll dig out my old ones and have a look.

Yep - I have a couple of complete, original fans - motors/blades/surrounds.

Hi Tony, I've been through the 'old box of bits' in my garage roof and found two (motors and blades) that look like your picture and almost certainly original fit to my (1978 build) car. You can have them if you wish (I've not tested the motors but they do not feel that great on rotation). I'm travelling to Staffordshire to work on Monday 15th December and could drop them off to you if that would work and you still want them? You have so many (potential) fans now!

At £56 Inc postage, just for a fan blade, I can't see em selling very quickly. Some interesting items in sellers other items, but again, a bit challenging on prices.
