It all depends wether you like a sucker or blower.....

Are you replacing that horrible stuff covering the gas locker ? If do what with, carpet.

I removed mine & simply cleaned the GRP. Looked OK to me.

Are the fans fitted the wrong way in your picture , the fans I have used would have been the other way round

Its possible

 

[Figaro]

.ill wire them up tomorrow

Make sure you get polarity correct first time or they'll be toast

Had a look at my thermostatic extractor hood I’ve just finished Making , pictures attached, it’s extracting through the face with the controller fitted

my thermostatic fridge vent fans I did also extract the same direction

What colours are they?
If red, black & yellow, Black is Negative & Red +12v, Yellow is the sensor for speed control in computers.

Take your sunglasses off.
I've never seen a computer fan where the wires are not colour coded, you should have bought some decent fans, cheap ones are noisy & don't shift enough air.

Scotch mist photo above his are all black too lol

I'll have to do the old trial and error method

Usually just results in the fan going backwards if wrong way round

Not with that type of motor. They're brushless with clever electronics. They do give an indication of reverse polarity by not spinning. Then smoking. You need to know more before connecting them.

Okay

This is on the back of the fan

Going by that I'd be inclined to think the wire furthest away from the black and grey is the positive and the middle is the negative

I'll try that and if they blow up ill just have to buy others lol

They weren't expensive

 

[Scotch mist]

My wires are 2 black & one black with a white tracer

picture added should help

The guy cleaning cabseats is doing a great job.

Heres the before pics

And the one done one not

Still a few wee bits he's going to go over again but what a difference so far

10 out of 10 for perseverance Tam, you should now treat yourself to a really sickly sweet cream cake.

All set for his next big adventure and to receive the queues of misguided dolly birds foolishly flocking to his door?
