Well....... The fan arrived, "instantly"! :bugeye: It only took 20 hours from Middlesex. And, the seller had already posted feedback. :thumbup: Don't know about you lot. I never post for a seller, who can't say "thank you", for my payment received. Anyroad! I wired the red and black wires to the wart, and it blew, (air), like a good un! No need to start smoking, Andy! :D After an hour continuous, I decided it might just survive assembly....... :thumbup: David D |

Hmmmm...... Almost 4 weeks gone, and no obvious progress...... I'm watching paint dry, at the moment. The motor set up has been tried over a couple of projects. All has gone well. It's pulling like a train..... Double header! I folded up a 70mm square duct, for the fan....... "Nailed" it together with panel pins, between two pieces of wood........ And, soldered together...... Snipped off the excess lengths........ The fan's a nice sliding, stay in place fit........ Bunged up the lower gap with foam, glued inside....... It locates, with magnets, a bit like this....... And this.......... Andy was right about the wind direction...... There's a draught out of both ends, when the motor's running! :scratch: The motor fan is angled to draw from the pulley end. So, this addition is going to be an extractor fan........ :thumbup: Awaiting some better, nimmydimmy magnets, and a quick wiring session. Then another rebuild will be completed! Until next time....... David D |

Thanks Bob! :beer: Well, it's done! Painted. Wired. Positioned. Operating......... :thumbup: Just needs a pelmet, or something, to keep the swarf off the connector block. :) David D |

As I recall, you mentioned that the airflow was inbound at the pulley end, and from the belt shot above, it made me wonder if one of the suction slots might be exposed.... Dave M |
