The plastic fans I used on my group 6 racer in the 80's I seem to remember came from a washing machine and just cut to suit try putting whatever the diameter plastic fan into e bay and see what comes up it will be a lot cheaper than something sold as "Lambretta" and you will probably find something identical that's used in a domestic appliances

I have used one of these before, and they are pretty robust. You need to take a bit of care in how you mount it, but mine was good until I replaced it with a Ducati flywheel which had a full set of fins.

We used to use the ET4 fan on PX flywheels/stators modified to fit Lambrettas as a better quality alternative to the shoddy Indian kits.

The fans work well, are very robust & move a lot more air than the type fitted on the ends of electric motors.

looking @ the Beedy's plasi flywheel fins (presuming this is the ET4 one) it'll need the fins reducing in length for a non Indibum flywheel cover,
but looks alot better than the washing machine one I've just fitted to my spare :lol:
