Smiths blower motor wanted

[peter Richardson]

Hi
I am currently in the throes of bringing a 1961 TVR Grantura MK2a back to life and hoping to restore it to original specification. To this aim I am trying to reinstate the original factory supplied heater.
Been looking for over a year now for a Smiths blower motor FHB3392 supplied as an aftermarket fitment on Grantura combined with heater matrix with FHF2301. I have managed to acquire a heater matrix but still need the blower motor. Just thought I would post it on here to see if anyone has one tucked away in a shed somewhere. Don’t mind if it’s as rusty as a boat Anker so long as it’s in one piece. Fingers crossed.

Care point - if anyone has a component 50 years old from rare classic please don't bin it - put it on e-bay or offer it to the respective owners club - very sad to here this has been scrapped

Missed the point boys - picture shows what it looks like - i don't have one at the mo -

Hi that's fantastic news - it's funny how things come to the surface from time to time.
I have managed to get a heater matrix of a well known internet selling site!!! . I did not managed to get a blower motor so I have had a blower body manufactured by a local exhaust fabricator and fitted a 12v boat bilge extracter fan.
I am sure their will be other Grantura builders / renovators who are on the look out for the blower and heater matrix.
What ever happens don't scrap them.

Hi not use to piston heads but I don't think I can send you messages etc. However I think you can send me a message so I can contact you about details.
I have contacted fellow Grantura renovaters and their is some interest.
Hope this is ok
