I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

C24-113-119-031-BHD...Genuine OE VW welded and balanced fan....Very best quality
C24-113-119-031-BHD...Genuine OE VW welded and balanced fan....Very best quality
or a good origional one how many revs are u gunna do
Greg, I think Craig was right about your jokes ๐๐๐๐ and I did the same to Craig last night ๐๐๐๐
Dave, when you said either of these are you trying to tell me that is the only one. It's also the same as the first link in my original post, so will go for that one then. Also would like to see 6000 rpm or more, if there is enough fuel and herbs to do it.
Thanks, Kev
P.S. Greg, before you tell me to get back to working on my car its 40+ down there ๐คช

On a serious note, , No.8 Beetle runs a GENUINE VW fan - not welded. For the last 4 years the engine has been spinning at 6,000rpm, with a stock crank pulley. Now that I've said that, the fan will explode next time out!๐ค
Cheers, and stay cool...........Greg

yep stick with a stock one providing its go not cracks on the hub face or vanes
Kev
I meant if your getting a welded one then get a genuine VW one welded up nota shitty new brazilian one nuthing wrong with origional German produce fans the metal in them is top quality
rate of acceleration as well as rpm i believe
Got a few from bergs, always good!
Hi Kev,
Firstly I never go over 4,000 rpm
so my fan isn't welded and balanced....lol
but the original VW CIP1 fan doesn't have the round holes in the back like the SCAT one does...??
I thought the welded fans are only used for very fast acceleration /revving where the fan can't take the stress...
Maybe the original one is OK Kev....
cheers

Well Lee, I hope it will rev bloody fast. It's a 2180 with a couple of 48 webbers hanging off the sides.

Click here for my (slowy) modded 1961 Beetle build.Kev, if you decide on a genuine VW fan runner, they are balanced in the factory - there is usually a little bit of steel spot-welded somewhere. As well as checking for cracks and damage, make sure it is REALLY CLEAN, as built up crud, or anything stuck to the blades will upset the balance. Now get on with it!

Gee, you two old buggers are nagging me more than me missus ๐๐๐๐
I might have got that wrong sorry Ian, you might be younger than me ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฌ
Anyway, I have modified the tinware to fit and its already at the powder coater's so I am actually moving forward even if you cant see it. Bit like those old fart drivers over 70 something ๐๐๐ but that doesn't mean you of course Greg.
I thought going with the welded/balanced fan would just be a bit of an insurance thing, safety first.
Was working on the car Thursday in the heat and my daughters school rang me telling me that she had a heavy fall and grazed her face badly and I should come and pick her up. I thought how bloody inconsiderate of her, I cant take a trick (only joking).

Click here for my (slowy) modded 1961 Beetle build.You're right Kev, kids don't care how much trouble they put you to.๐ฅฒ My youngest [now aged 42] was regularly getting injured - one day we took him to the hospital because he had a 'sore shoulder'. It turned out to be a broken collar bone!
Don't worry though, it's just a stage they go though - it will only last about 30 years.๐
