cooling fan alternative 87 K75C?

[trek97]

Hey guys,
Been reading alot on here about the seemingly notorious BMW cooling fan problems.
I just bought my 87K75C, rode it once and currently got her apart doing all the maintenance.
So, as far as I know the fan is presently in good working order. (spins free and smooth by hand)

Planning to add the "override switch".

A new BMW fan on bobsbmw.com is currently priced at $280+ U.S.  kinda ridiculous.
 
Can anyone please post a link to a more reliable/less expensive fan unit? 

Even if mount mods have to made thats fine.  I can do that.

So some better info here, but the link he posted to the fan doesnt work.  Need to do some more searching...

Go to post number 18 of the thread you posted for the way I did mine.  The Spal 6.5 inch puller fan can be had on eBay for about $60.  Just do a search for it.

Thanks bud, I didnt get all the way through the thread this morning.  Had to leave for work.  But certainly looks like the way to go.
