Do you know who made them? Smiths maybe?
Hi all,
When I bought my Series 3, it was missing the heater blower motor.
I have searched and searched the internet countless times for one of these, but can't seem to find any? The only ones I can find are for LHDs, however my car is a RHD.
Can anyone help me? Where can I find a RHD Heater Blower Motor?
Appreciate it
Zac

Hello from Brisbane.
The motor was Smiths - very likely the same as a Holden, Falcon or Valiant of the era. Rare Spares might have something - otherwise try a very old wrecking yard.

I think you will find they are common to most Leyland products from the late 60s into the 70s. The fan motor on my Jaguar looks the same as the one linked.

Hello again - returning to this post.
The heater assembly including the fan on Australian assembled Series 3 vehicles was a locally put together affair - presumably part of the aim to get a bit more local content into the trucks beyond batteries, tyres, seats etc.
While looking a bit like the UK variant it isn't the same - core, box, tap are locally sourced as were the fan motor, vane and plastic housing. The latter are Smiths but have Made in Australia on the plastic housing and vane.
As someone had noted the tap was the same as fitted to a few Australian cars including the 70's Falcons - available from Rare Spares. The fan motor may have also been fitted to a raft of other locally built cars - given the age, finding a good one on a wreck might be a challenge.
I had the motor rebuilt by a local old school auto electrician and sourced a replacement housing and vane off an ex-Army wreck.
Cheers,
Neil

Hello again.
From the posts spread over several threads this is what you seem to be either missing or need to refurbish in terms of the heater tap, fan assembly etc:

The heater in my truck was essentially rooted across most of the relevant parts - so, I either gave the salvageable stuff a good clean up or sourced salvageable bits from wrecks around the place. The motor was the original after it was rebuilt by a local auto electrician. Getting the squirrel cage off the shaft was a monkey puzzle but easy enough once you work out how it is held on - there's a piece of small wire bent through a hole in the motor's axle shaft that grips the plastic. Leverage with a large screwdriver will get it off - necessary to remove the motor from the mounting bracket.

The heater tap shown here was sourced from a Rare Spares branch in Brisbane a few years ago, and the hoses are cut down from universal bendy pieces bought at a Repco. The inner heater core was refurbished by a local radiator repair outfit.
Note that the motor is wired through the heater box where there is a small resistor on a plate that effects the slower speed of the two speed fan. Note also that the heater box and core are not the same ones that are fitted in UK assembled trucks - from memory this includes the concertina air hoses which are a different diameter. So, getting individual parts from there won't be a lot of use to you - better to find a suitable wreck here. The concertina hose of correct diameter can be sourced through industrial hose suppliers - you might even score a free offcut if you look distraught enough.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Neil
