V8MoneyPit:
A colleague at work has a project where he needs a 6" 12v fan. I see Kenlowe list one, but has anyone got any ideas where else he might find one? It needs to shift a fair amount of air.

A little lateral thinking required!

Mutz:
if it needs to move a lot of air with a small fan it would be better with a centrifugal fan as opposed to the standard style, but then he'd need more room.

is it on a car?

HTH

Tripac do a 5" and a 6.5 inch radiator/oil cooler fans and they are around 50 quid from Merlin Motorsport .

Have had a big tripac on a kit car for an age and have had no complaints. Spec are on the tripac webby, the 6.5" seem to be about 130 to 350 CFM flow.

V8MoneyPit:
Thanks guys. The Merlin Motorsport ones look possible.

Mutz - It's for a little heater to demist the screen in a Mini Marcos! I suspect there won't be enough room for a centrifugal type.
I did think about a bathroom extractor fan. Those seem to be available as 12v DC. But not sure it would shift enough air. What do you reckon Graham?

Saffy:
how about PC cpu and case fans ? they are ~12volt and come in all sort of sizes and flow.  The Marcos Heritage gaff is just down road from me - have always like them, do not think I'd fit in one now  :lol:
