I'm looking for a rear defogger motor/fan to replace the one that originally came on my 70. Haven't had any luck with parts suppliers yet, just wondering if anybody knows where I can get one? Any and all leads appreciated.

I've seen a couple offered lately on Ebay (used and restored) Might want to give it a try if all else fails. Scott

hey, while looking for a plastic cover for my rear defogger I got several offers for conplete kits with blowers, put up an ad. Or call Sundell in slippery rock pa. oh, the plastic covers are fragile and you;ll pay for an unbroken one. here's the email for one of them: Koehn, Doug [dkoehn@harris.com]

My 70 SS with factory installed rear defogger has a METAL screen, not plastic.
I don't know if plastic covers were used in 70 but I know mine is metal.

I posted an " Wanted" ad an got several responses but couldn't put the puzzle together. What I mean is, I got a lot of conflicting info so I backed off till after June 4th. That's the day of our (Southern California Chevelle Camino Club) annual show in Irvine. Should be 200-250 Chevelles and Elcos there and somebody has to have a rear window defogger in a 70. I also contacted the local Chevy dealer and they said 68-70 same. 71-up different. I had replys telling me plastic grills when the grill still in my 70 SS is metal. Also telling me approx 4" X 9" for the grill size and bolt pattern to bolt up the blower. My original holes in my package tray are "skewed" not a perfect rectangle.
Bob B. I may contact you to see what you have, or if you know the gospel truth, please contact me.

Bill T SS70 I would like to hear about your defogger and bolt pattern for your defogger since your description sounds closest to what I'm looking for.

The 1970 defogger is metal. The grill and the blower housing. 71-72 are plastic.

That of course makes the 1970 unit a one time affair and harder to find.

Good luck,

the grill is approx 4" X 10", the holes in the grill and bolt pattern are offset (not perfect rectangle). My 70 grille, both the one I replaced and the replacement is plastic and they are fragile. It is the original dash and dash switch, I cannot guarantee the blower and grill are original but the metal under the package shelf is-- anyway I got my replacement grill from Sundell
