Does anyone know what detail associates or other companies fan's can be used to add better detail to the RPP SD90 shell? The stock fans are 1 piece mold that you can't see thru. I'de like to add any fan that has better detail, ones you can see thru and see the fan blades and other details.
 
Steve, DA makes replacement fans in a bunch of different sizes. Some are just plastic castings and some are kits with a see-through grill and fans. I have no idea which is right for an SD-90. You'll have to go to Walther's site and hunt them down.
 
Steve, the SD80/90mac's require a 52" fan. The only available part is:
Smokey Valley: 676-141 EMD 52" Fan w/Rotating Blade

However, if you can find it, OMI made the 52" fan as well.
 


Thanks Josh. trying to get the wife to give me the ok for the fans. Walthers has them instock.
Yeah. Check out this item as well, it'll fix the chunky look of the alternator cabinet housing that comes with the RPP shell.
