As per title, anyone done the swap?
I had it all apart about 5yrs ago, as the original blower was blowing fuses every time it was switched on, tried a brand new one and only thing available was a Britpart jobby which had to be mullered to get the resistor pack that was spot welded off it and even then it was 3.5mm to small a diameter to fit snuggly and after a couple of attempts to center it with wedges and gluing it in with epoxy and failing miserably I fitted a decent second hand one with minimal wear on the bushes the time has come to do it all over again, it's starting to stick a little and squeaking
I read a thread somewhere (admittedly it is 5yrs ago and I was reading hundreds of threads on various vehicles and forums looking for tips and ideas), where a guy had replaced the bushings with bearings, I could just rip it all apart and get busy but I thought I'd see if anyone still around on here has done it?
