Heater blower wanted...oops

This week I decided to restore all the heater parts on the bugeye. The heater box went to get powder coated, the bits and pieces have been on the wire wheel getting prepped for paint, and the blower motor was on the workbench as I figured out the best plan of attack to make it look good. Four or five hours later I was in the house and heard something crash in the garage. I walked out and there was the blower, in 20 or so pieces all over the floor. I have no idea how it fell off the bench, there was no one around. I'm blaming it on a ghost. But not I am in need of a blower housing at least, as my motor works fine. Any donors out there??
 
Try eBay, Matthews auto parts in Birmingham, AL, British Masters, etc if you don't find one here. How quick do you need it? Time is your friend on this one.

I did see the Ashley Hinton, will most likely go that route. I want to get it done sooner than later. I've been driving the car a fair amount, but with no top and 50 degrees, I'll take the heater, even if it only works so-so. I'm still baffled on how it fell off the work bench.
 
Earthquake. You are in California. Things move on their own.
 
When I got my Midget someone had dropped a battery on it and broken it pretty badly- I found that common 5-minute epoxy works on it pretty well and it is still working years later.

Mine was that repairable at first, it had 3 or 4 cracks. Now its in many tiny pieces. I ended up ordering one from Ashley Hinton. Its not original, but its the easy route.
 
Thanks, I actually ordered one from you, couldn't believe how fast you got it to me!
