hi
like for most of us one day,the grinding noise at the back : rear blower motor gone!
Well not quite so ,the casing is obviously perfectly healthy and ,believe it or not ,the motor as well
the only problem is the front bushing ,which is worn and allows the motor axle to wobble ,hence the noise
nb : the axle has only lost 1.5 thou .
i have managed to take the motor down into parts ,now the only thing i need is these bushings
Would you have any idea where i could find them ?

You could go to a machine shop and have them make you a couple, wouldn't cost too much. Have them make them from "oil lite" bronze material.

PS. You can also try www.isostatic.com, they have a vast variety of oilite bushings.

many thanks ,Steen ,for your advice
i've looked at the isostatic site ,but they do not appear to have that shape of bushing
I'll now look around for oil lite ones

I´ve read in another forum that inline scater bushings can be adapted to the motor.
