<VV> clarks ultimate heater kit- questions

[J R Read_HML]

The original heater fans were metal with a separate (pressed on as I recall) 
metal cap on the end.  Over time the cap would come (rust probably) loose 
and the cap would turn faster than the fan (squirrel cage) and make a heck 
of a squeal noise.  The plastic fans were all one piece and considered 
better at replacement time as they did not have that squeal problem.

I've not seen the "new" fans you refer to, but if the construction is 
similar to the original fans, I'd stick with the plastic one.

Subject: <VV> clarks ultimate heater kit- questions


I am just beginning to install my clarks ultimate heater kit, and have run 
accross a small problem, and a question to go with it.

The heater kit came with a metal blower fan-  This blower fan is a little 
shorter then the plastic fan that came out with the old motor.

Is the new metal fan that came with the kit or the plastic fan better?

Thanks in advance!
