Default Defogger specification

Hello Everyone,

I have a 1994 Z225, fitted with a Pro-Air defogger model 804.

The defogger is rusted solid and is unlikely to work again.

Pro-Air aren't interested in talking to me, so I am looking for a replacement blower.

Does anyone out there know how much air the original Pro-Air unit moved?

I'm thinking about using a Bilge blower, but am unsure it it will shift enough air to clear the windscreen.

Any thoughts welcomed with open arms..


John,

    Not sure of the condition of my blower, but it does not seam to blow a ton of air.

    Many thanks Firestone. I guess that any moving air is better than none!

    For 20-30 sterling, it's hardly a fortune if it doesn't work!

    I'll post results in a couple of weeks.

    There is a guy parting out a 94 Talari Z. You might want to see if he has the blower?!

    Smile Re: Defogger specification

    As a follow up to my original post, I searched EBay for a replacement and found the following:
    SEAFLO in line blower DC12V. Fits 3" (80mm) intake pipe.
    Has an open flow of 130CFM (3690L/MIN)
    Ampdraw is 2.5A. Fuse size 5.0A
    Built in mounting feet allow easy vertical or horizontal installation
    Low amp draw motor for longer Blower and Battery life
    Four Blade fan Maximise Airflow and Efficiency
    Sealed motor shaft for moisture protection
    Corrosion Resistant ABS Plastic Housing


    Took a bit of fiddling to get it to connect with the flexible hose, but all appears to work ok.

    Enjoy
    John
