Hi gang,
I was in the process of replacing the blower motor and impellers on my (new-to-me) 93 240 when I realized the previous owner had already tried it once via the chainsaw method. Although they were perhaps successful (besides setting the resistor mount under the motor flange (offsetting the motor), they also completely (and I mean completely) butchered/destroyed the left side blower housing. They must have plunged their dremel way too far in or something..
ANYWAYS, Im in Salt Lake City Utah and not a single junkyard here has any 240s (either nobody is scrapping them, or theyre not buying them anymore). Crazy because when I lived in San Diego Id find at least 5-6 240s at every junkyard I went to! Definitely not a Utah car I guess..
Is there any market for these parts online? I cant seem to find any on eBay or other sites, but then again I might just be looking in the wrong places.
I suppose I could try to put this one back on again, but it would definitely decrease the efficiency of my left side vents, as the cone surround thats between the motor and left impeller is completely detached from the housing (and Im not going to try and put it on again only to have it break and damage the impeller and motor again).
Thanks in advance!
