While my gas tank is out again I decided it was time to tackle the dreaded fresh air unit project. I found that like many others, the blower motor is toast. Looks like I can find a used assy but ran across this ad. It looks like a copy of a Bosch unit that also claims to be for the 914.
Anybody go this route? https://www.ebay.com/itm/353949305554?fits=...%3ABFBM0NLYrZNg Here's the Bosch ad: https://www.ebay.com/itm/111780297767?fits=...TQAAOSw7E1ht7JI Thanks, Ron |

I considered buying just the motor but decided to buy one on partsgeek that has the frame and fan all together. I took the old one apart from the frame and the clips that hold it in place are not fun to try and get back on. I also didn’t want to mess with switching over the plastic fan. I haven’t installed it so I can’t report on how it works.

Here’s a few pictures of the fan unit. It’s a URO, 914 rubber gaskets for the motor housing and flapper valves. I used gold VHT wheel paint for the metal hardware.

i bought the bosch motor when i rebuilt my air box. I would prefer to have found an option that did not require heating up the plastic fan to remove it from the shaft and then heating it to slide it on the new motor. It worked but it seemed like high chance of messing it up.
