How did you manage to get the old blower of his axle ? was it mounted the same way as mine on the picture ? It looks like my new motor has an axle thats a bit thinner than the original, it also has a flat side so i might not have to grind, question is, will the old blower fit on the new motor.......
The wheel on my new blower was pressed and glued on. I had to drill out the plastic around the shaft and break it free. A fair amount of rust on the tip of the shaft would also have prevented it from coming off. From the picture of the shaft, your wheel looks like it is held on with a nut? The original blower has a shaft with a 8mm diameter. You cannot put its blower wheel onto a shaft of smaller diameter than that. Except, of course, if you can find, or make, an adapter tube to make up the difference. That would be a challenge due to the flat part of the shaft, which an adapter tube also must have.

yes, my new blower has a nut, i think i can find a way to make the axle a bit thicker by sliding an metal tube over it.
How is the old blower mounted ? how did you remove it. It looked like it's also glued on or pressed on the axle. I am afraid i would break it if i put pressure in it by removing.
To remove the old blower wheel I held it between my legs and used a punch to beat out the shaft. You have to hit it firmly, depending on how rusty the shaft could be. But it is the only way I could find. You cannot pry it off in any way that I could think of, without risking breaking the old plastic. A year ago I repaired the motor, but it did not last. there is a picture in that post showing how I removed the wheel: http://www.matrasport.dk/forum/index.php/topic,1720.0.html

The new blower is in place, and that's a big difference. The model i used was sold like a '95, i don't know if that is right, because this one has a nut and a axle with one flat site on it. The axle is a bit thinner than the original one. I crimped a hose around it. Placed some washers under and on top of the blower wheel (do not have picture's of everything ) I think the wheel will stay in place. My new blower fitted in the original spot without grinding on the fenders. Richard

Is the motor shorter than the original, or how did you get it to fit? Also, the idea with the hose around the shaft is interesting, but is the wheel properly centered? no vibrations?

the motor is outside the housing, the blower wheel is inside. Think it's the same as your modification as far as i can figure it out on the pictures. (I am sorry that i do not have more detailed pictures of all situations, was to busy with the blower and did forget the photo shoot ) The tube around the axle was just a idea to fill the little gap. Future wil tell if this is stable enough to keep the blower wheel centered. Right now it's centered. The blower wheel has underneath and on top a washer and the nut presses them together. I think it has a good chance to stay in place.

Still have the original fan in the car, but it is end of life. I feel it is dieing. Some years ago a fellow member from the club put in a Golf 1 ventilator. It seems a easy fix. It will fit with very small adjustments and a simple job Finding a Golf1 ventilator is another problem. This is the 5th I found and the first one in good shape. It runs like hell. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1y3fyJPglcQCurrent use at max 12 Amp
