Hi Members:

This is my first post!

Recently I find myself in need to replace my fan blade ( I still have the original) and no vendor has one in stock. All in back order. I am looking for an aluminum 2 blade fan.

Anyone can reply to: [email protected]

Thanks,

Welcome! There are a bunch of vendors; one of them must have one. Who have you tried?

I have 5 running, driving Model As. They all have aluminum fans. They're the best.

Hi Glenn:

I have tried more than 15 vendors and no one has the in stock until the end of March, April, or middle of May.

I'm in the same boat. New to me 1930 Tudor with an original fan. I called all the vendors and the 2 blade aluminum fan has been on back order since late December. I've been told a new batch is on the boat and should arrive soon. The vendor needs a few weeks to have them prepped and powder coated. They should be available in late March. I hope so, as I don't really want to drive my car with the original fan. I've heard to many horror stories. If anyone has two aluminum fans laying around, I'd be interested in one as well.

Put one on last year, got it from Snyder's, looks and works great. Saved the original for wall decoration.

I have a new one for sale for whatever they are selling for. I bought it several years ago and never used it. Ray

I have an new aluminum one that was never used or installed from Snyder's. I would sell for what they sell for from the suppliers + shipping.
Was going to put it on EBAY.
Thanks,
James

I have an 85yr old steel one!
I have been keeping an eye on it for 45yrs, so far all good.
Compared to earthquakes & floods which I have lived through, the risk does not seem too high.

just inspect the aluminum fans as I bought one from a vendor and the fan blades were out of alignment and drooping, and I got stuck paying shipping both ways from the vendor to return it.

Go figure, I just sold my last one Monday of last week.
