Fresh Air Box Rebuild - Replacing Blower Motor Options

[DC_neun_vierzehn]

My wiper assembly is not parking properly (as discussed in this post) so I need to perform the dreaded task of pulling the fresh air box to get to the wiper assembly. I've watched Ian's video which is super helpful.

I'd like to rebuild the air box while I have it out. I bought the 914 Rubber kit to replace all of the seals and grill. I'd like to replace the fan motor too while I'm in there.

My question: is this the right part (or best part) for a 914 fresh air box?

When I did my airbox, I found that the new gasket that fits between the upper and lower halves of the plastic airbox was too thick, once you put the new upper gasket onto the top of the airbag and tried to re-install the assembly under the body cowl sheetmetal. So, I took out the plastic airbox' middle gasket used a bead of black silicon to seal the motor lower half against the airbox' upper half. With that modification, the refreshed air box fit into place just fine without the need for Ian Karr's tool setup or the need to remove the hood. The metal body cowl area is pretty flexible if you remove the bolts on each of the metal arms which support the upper cowl sheetmetal.
