rad fans died uh oh
hey so was coming back from a week in boston today and noticed the fd running slightly hotter than normal but still not in the danger zone so i stopped to check it out to discover that one rad fan is completely seized and no longer working.
so does anyone know of the best place to buy a new set of stock fans or have others just gone aftermarket and custom when they failed. input would be awesome as i dont want to drive her till i get this fixed.

my research previously seems to have told me that no aftermarket solution comes close to the cooling power of the OEM fans. A replacement fan motor (no blade or shroud, just the motor) from mazda is over $400 :S.
PM me if you're interested in a rad fan motor, I have a spare in my garage since I had to replace a seized one previously and bought the full rad fan assembly from ebay
