Thats ok. Weston invented the light bulb, not Edison
Maybe I should stick with construction and leave the magic to the pros. Switching two leads and she spins backwards mindboggling concept.

Almost there!
Got the 2nd motor, pressed the bushing on, the fan onto the bushing, fitted it all in, and tried before buttoning up. So far so good. I have all 4 speeds on both motors, a crawl when the fan selector is on "0", and all the servomotors work. It is impressive how much air the new fans move! never had it so efficient.
Remains the fuel pump to reconnect, the fuel vapor tank to refit, the air tubes in the footwells.
I also took the time while the car was apart to change the shifter bushings, the front anti-roll bar bushings, some fuel lines.

Got the motors on german ebay, 120€ apiece.
Started the car tonight, purrs like a kitten.
I still have to fit the paper ducts in the footwell, but that is for tomorrow.
Connecting the fuel lines under the tank made me feel like a gynaecologist..... Beware that the main fuel line from the tank is on backorder from the factory. I had to get creative with a longer 12mm line to have nice regular curves without kinks.

Update for finished job.
Had the AC filled 400 miles ago, and so far so good. The Griffiths cooler seems to work a treat. Very efficient cooling coupled with the new fans make for a much more agreable drive. Never had it so good in a 911.

Great thread, George! Thanks so much for the contribution -- I have no doubt this will be useful for many in the future. I replaced everything but my compressor a year and a half ago and I hope I never have to go back in there again. The biggest things that worry me about the system are the fans -- for which you've come up with a great alternative. Now I just need to deal with my CCU which refuses to operate the recirc button properly.

The tank needs to come out, but its not as awful as you might think. As we saw here its a great opportunity to RnR the lines etc while it's out.
