Triumph TR6 - Heater (again)

Does anyone have an inside illustration of the heater motor? I have disassembled mine and 2 springs and 2 black spacers are in question.

don - check the thread "What I have learned" - they may not have come from your heater at all!!

Black spacers? - are they the mounting bushes?
Springs? - got me there - no idea - sorry.

There are 2 Black plastic spacers and 2 heavier duty springs(other than the bush springs) one goes above the bush plate the other goes below.Was kind of hoping that Dan was around but haven't heard from him lately.

I have been in contact with a guy who has a reference page on the web. In it is this section

· TR4 thru 6 Heater Upgrade Kit - (squirrel cage fan) - part# 812301X £56.40 at Moss Manchester, 113-117 Stockport Road, Cheadle Heath, Stockport, Cheshire, SK3 OJE, Tel 0161 480 6402, Fax 0161 429 0349 or M & G International,Manchester, 0161 773 9678, & M & G International, Merseyside, 0151 6661666. Advertised as a 60% improvement.

In an email he doesn't know the source and suggest asking the triumph boards. Anyone familiar with this upgrade?

I'd like to see how a squirrel cage fan fits in and 'upgrades' the OEM fan. It must have some additional hardware to enclose the 'cage' and direct the air flow.

Actually, after thinking about it, a squirrel cage might be more efficient. It would only replace the bladed fan.
I was wondering if any of the Brethren in UK know of this place, or of this upgrade.
