Default blower

Has anyone got a electric blower suitable for a large 3" engine that they wish to part with?
PM me in first instance.
Regards
Mark

Make one , its so easy and costs nowt or nearly nowt. all that's needed is a 12v heater motor from a scrap yard, make a fan with two blades cross halved joint to make four, cut corresponding grooves in a piece of round bar , silver solder blades into end of bar, attach bar to motor and make a 20g shroud round blades with nozzle that fits the chimney, and Voila, you have a blower, Takes all of an afternoon to make. Made mine 25 years ago and still going strong. Hope this points you in the right direction. Good luck
Mick

Or use an old landrover heater fan from a series 2a or 3
Just make sure it has the metal fan not the plastic one
I have used the same blower for 20 years now and never let me down
