Chris,
I don't know if this will help, but possibly someone else can check it out.
When you mentioned that a Spitfire fan might work, I pulled my VB catalogues
to take a look. I have a TR7 engine for parts that has the fan on it. The
fan 'looks' the same in the VB TR7 $ TR8 catalogue (TR.20 - p.63 - 13 blade
TR7 75-81 - $87.45) as that shown in the VB Sprite & Midget Catalogue
(SM.23 - p.78 -no part number - not available?) and the same as in the VB
Spitfire & GT6 catalogue (SG.21 - p.85 - no part number - not available?).
The point is, if the fan is the same, I'd be happy to sell it to you
reasonably...I think... Is $25 OK? (you pay shipping?). If I'm out of line
on this, I'll stand corrected by others on the list. However, if I'm way
low, don't tell me - I could't take it...(haven't been to enough swap meets
to get a handle on this pricing thing). Hope I can help you out...
