Hi Baz,
I’m guessing that the fans are on a C3, looking at your previous post.
If one motor has died, perhaps the other one might not be too far of croaking it as well.
I’m running Fex a Lite fans on mine. Part #210 Dual, they fit between the tanks on the Rad quite well. Purchased them locally

Or sirfixalot might chime in.

it is a 70 454
aluminium Rad..something yanky...really good fan set up.
Will try to source some new motors before looking at other options.
Cheers
Baz

Put thermo fan on Ebay you will find hundreds to choose from

Just had a look at Ebay No 190569010400 Jethro on here has similar ones to these I fabricated a fan shroud from black colour bond steel draws heaps of air really easy to make a shroud. Fans fit between radiator & upper control arms no problem. Im sure Jethro will put up a pic

Cheers Fellas,
I will post some pics as well.
Just cant seem to source the actual elec motor.

I've never seen just the motors on sale before. Looked at the Davies Craig web site and there they were. Don't know if they're compatible with you set up 'though.
