Ok no problem , are the blade from your fan counter clockwise like it is supposed to be ?OK cool.
I will email you.
Please be patient, I have just broken a bone in my left foot and cannot drive myself. I will find out the shipping asap.
Cheers
Mark.
I'll throw up a pic of it, then you can be sure you want it.Ok no problem , are the blade from your fan counter clockwise like it is supposed to be ?
Ok thanks you cheers.I'll throw up a pic of it, then you can be sure you want it.
I don't know if the plate is very important you still have enough clearance at the back in the firewall . I am curious to see how this is going to end .
Only pulling your leg, I tried pulling my leg. but it hurt too much.That'll be interesting to compare.
Don't drop it on your foot.
The metal the cover was pressed from was very thin, difficult to weld tidily. No matter though l think the bulkhead may need some surgery too.
Hello I am going to look for a other solution do tho the fact that the flaps are in the opposite direction too . I am going to try a Mitsubishi fan. I hope to inform you al on that project.View attachment 21045
Here if you want it.

I have both of them with clip en one with bold , today we did some testing with a Mitsubishi Colt fan en I think we are going to make en attempt to fit it . It's the right rotation and it is not so big . I will make pictures tho chow the way we attempt to fit it . Thank you very much everyone for your input en expertise .Have a look at your fan fixing, Mark. Is it the same as this or does it have a metal clip holding it?

What l've found is that with the rotation as marked here, in favour of the blades, it's all but useless. But reverse the polarity & spin the fan against the blade profile you get a pretty healthy airflow, which is what Demetris predicted.
Whether it's better than the P6 original l don't know, l suspect it's at least equal but may be able to compare the output against my other unit on Saturday when l take the heater over to Richard.
If the fan could be reversed on the shaft bringing the profile of the blades then l think the output would be blinding but looking at mine it doesn't look likely. Alexandra who reconditions the heaters has a video on Youtube servicing a heater motor like this, with the same fan held on by a metal clip which with difficulty, she removes successfully. Mine doesn't have a clip as you can see & the Metro box had never been apart as far as l could tell so possibly this was heat shrunk onto the shaft or somesuch. So l'm just wondering what your fan fixing looks like & if you would consider removal if you were doing the job. Though looking at the shape of it l think it may end up on the wrong part of the shaft even if successfully reversed.
Alex's video:
Ok, l've just noticed her fan is the one needed for the P6.
I'll message her again.
Anyway, wiring spliced with the P6 colours, resistor swapped for the Metro & the extended cover attached with some foam to accommodate the slightly distorted base plate:

No clip on mine.
I am confused as to the issue. In Alex's video at 1.00 the open end of the fan is visible, the fan rotates anti clockwise and the blades are cupped the same way as the Metro fan, so what is the problem ?
Alex said it's P6. The early cars had the metal fan l took out of this box but changed to the plastic ones later on, which isn't surprising.
Still smaller than the Metro one though.
What a barrel of worms, it's all Demetris' fault you know.
