Vacuum Fan Pics
Follow up to the thread "Neat article for F3 owners" there was a question about the vacuum operated fan mentioned in the article. Here are pictures of the fan I found under the seat of my '48. There are no manufacturers marks on it so I have no idea where it was made. I'm going to try to rebuild and replace the blades so I can put it in my truck.
