Hi Tim,
I put in one of these 12 v motors in my recirculating heater. Don't know of
these same changes would have to me made in the fresh air model.
I had to do two things to make it fit. First, I had to shorten the shaft on
the motor to keep it from hitting the core. I pushed the fan as close to
the bottom of the shaft as it would go.
Second, I bent the fan mounting a little bit to get it to fit into the front
of the heater housing. It wasn't a big deal, but I recall I went through
several fittings until I got it right.
