[Healeys] Fw: Heater motor

[Dick Matson]

I've heard rodents can happen.

Someone else found a (huge) mouse nest in the duct and squirrel cage of his
heater motor.

Anyway so I installed a fitting from BCS/Nocks and a screen over the front of
the heater air inlet duct on my car.  Now the heater inlet matches the cold
air inlet on the other side.  The change is reversible.  I guess that doesn't
help with your question though.

I need some help.

I disassembled my heater blower, BJ8, and found that the squirrel cage has
some damaged blades, (chewed by a  resident rodent  in a previous life).
Replacements do not seem to be available.No problem, I have a couple of
excellent spares for my MGB. Exact dimensional  match. Only one problem,
they are designed for opposite rotation.  So here is the question. Is it
possible to change the rotation of the blower motor. I know that changing
the polarity of the leads makes no difference.

Any help is appreciated.
