Default radiator fans

Anyone heard any scuttlebutt on when radiator fans might become available again? (2-bladed aluminum).

You might check with Snyders as I believe (If I recall correctly)they have them made and sell them to their customers and also to the other dealers.

Online Snyder's shows "Temporarily Out of Stock" - as it has been since Covid.

A call to Don would give you the direct read.

I've heard it's "sometime in February". It will happen...just a matter of when...

Projected time was back in October,but it is what it is.The vendors want them as bad as the customers that want them.The vendors have zero leverage with the manufacturer on items like this with a low demand of a few hundred.Their priority is with their customers that have thousands of products made,not just a couple hundred.

Call Snyder's and ask to be notified when they come in. This will assure that you get one before they sell out again. That's how I got mine a while back.
