Vendors often want a cashiers check or postal money order so they can ship immediately. Having packaged parts setting around for days or weeks waiting for a check to clear is a problem. I almost always ask for a postal money order (unless I know the buyer) as they are seldom faked as the postal service has it's own investigators and they act quickly as this is their only job. If you call the sheriff or police they take a report and then nothing happens. Creating fake postal money orders is taken seriously by postal investigators. In thirty five years restoring cars only once did a vendor cheat me. I think that is a very good record for our hobby.

It appears that this is sold. Thanks to all who showed an interest. Patrick W. Brooks

Remember, an electric motor will spin either direction. The motor must spin the blade so as to direct air through the radiator and not away from the radiator. If it turns the wrong way your car will over heat for sure. If it turns the wrong way all that you must do is switch the wires and it will turn the correct direction. I have seen this problem on a number of occasions and it is easily solved. Patrick W. Brooks
