chrismitchell Posted January 31, 2020 Report Share Posted January 31, 2020 I got one at the international in Stratford. Shame I cannot remember the name of the firm, midlands based . They had a stand outdoors and were selling all sorts of starter motors, wiper motors etc. They had a box full of new heater motors. If anyone has a list of the vendors it might help jog the memory.

Richard Green 54 Posted February 4, 2020 Report Share Posted February 4, 2020 The motor in the heater on my recently acquired 6 had failed. Armature windings shorted and wires to the motor melted as a result. The motor was completely shot. I found these guys: https://www.thhs.co.uk/transport-heating-and-hose-supplies/product/736-12v-heater-motor-smiths-type-m1210-3925 They had a number of suitable motors but I bought the one pictured in the link as it was the closest match to the original. There are differences and you need to put a flat on the shaft if you want to fit the original fan. That took a few minutes with an angle grinder. If you can't be bothered with that they did have a different motor that already had the flat on it. I also needed to modify the mount with the three legs as the mounting plate on the motor, the one with the 3 holes, is in a different position. To do that I had to drill out the three pop rivets that hold the original mounting assembly together and use some short spacers. That took me a little bit longer but if you have the parts then easily doable within an hour or so. The picture below shows the trial assembly. I need to strip it down again to treat the rust on the tripod plate but everything fits OK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
