On the vintage air beware the plastic blower fan! I installed one on my 66 Elky & my 64 Elky & the fan destroyed on both, 1 in 6 months & one within a yr. I ordered 4 more fans from them. I did find out the fix myself, the fan has a "D" shaped hole in it but it's only held on the motor shaft by a spring clamp (like the old time fuel host clamps). What happens is the fan works itself lose down the shaft & destroys itself on the bottom of the case. When you get your VA unit take the blower motor off & squeeze the clamp to pull the fan off, then take super glue & coat the shaft & inside the fan hole, push the fan back on (be sure the clamp is on the motor shaft but not on the fan yet). Then put super glue on the boss where the clamp fits & install the spring clamp. I did that 4 yrs ago & I haven't needed my extra fans yet. ----------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
