Electric radiator fan replacement options

[Mark Jones]

This past weekend we attended the Mad Dog and Englishmen's car show at the Gilmore Museum. On the drive there the electric radiator fan in our 80 Spitfire started howling and on the way how it finally gave up the ghost. I have another one but it too has bushing issues.

Is there anyone that repairs these electric motors or would a Hayden electric fan be a better use of my LBC dollar?

Unless originality is important, an aftermarket fan will function better. If you go that route, consider adding an adjustable temp sensing fan switch.

I recommend you look into SPAL. They are very high-quality fan units.

I haven't had any luck find a place to repair the bushing in my back up fan so I've decided to by an aftermarket fan. I like originality but reliability is more important.
