upgraded my blower motor

Made a start on fan casing for new blower.
Should end up with 4 speeds.

looking good-anyone know where I can get new carbon brushes from for my old motor?

More progress just the end plate and brackets to weld on now added slot for resistor pack after taking these pics.
Tested it with no resistance in yesterday and air flow rate is brilliant.
Intend to set up with normal switch with two resistance values in and then have a second switch to short out resistance and give full flow when required.
The motor has a vent tube taken from casing to keep it cool same as LDV van it came from except that was a plastic case.

this looks like it'll fit-tad pricey though!!

Have mine ready to paint then couple of brackets to make to fit it.

any idea what part number/ldv model the blower is at all or the fan blade dimensions?
