Bob Riding Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Anyone know of a company that makes a new 6 volt dash fan? There are plenty of 12 volt versions -trucker fans-, but the only 6 volt versions I've seen are the old, open-rubber bladed versions or the metal ones in cages. I don't want pay the big $ that they want and then find out that the rubber is brittle, or the motor needs rewinding. Driving around the San Joaquin Valley in the summer without wind-wing vents makes the inside of the wagon rather toasty. The cowl vent helps, but I need a more active solution!

P15-D24 Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Trico seems pretty common. Look on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plymouthy Adams Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 (edited) E-bay..yeah I know, however...they often have a number of listings and at this time it is no different, prices and styles vary, while it may not have the exact items that trips your trigger today, new listing all the time...ear mark the search and get feeds on new listing. It is often in your favor to watch and snag one on a buy it now listing for a fair price. One of my swap meet acquaintance sells a T-Shirt that is just ripe for this crowd......
