Re: Alfetta heater fan same as 115?

["John Hertzman" <johnhertzman@domain.elided>]

Thomas Moll is absolutely correct, JH absolutely wrong, the
non-air-conditioned Alfetta heaters (some of them, anyhow) have fans and
motors which should fit the late 115 cars.
The Catalogo Rapido listings are a tad cursory, but apparently the non-AC
Alfettas used two brands of heaters, Ipra and Valeo, both with vertical-axis
motor/fan units. The Valeo motor/fan unit carries a 116 part number (and
might/might not fit perhaps with some fudging) but the Ipra motor/fan unit
has a part number 10521.57063.01, which the 105 Catalogo Rapido shows as
used on all 1750 and 2000 variants. Nothing I have suggests whether the Ipra
and Valeo units were concurrent or sequential, but Tom's citation of a 1975
Alfetta suggests that the odds would favor finding an exact match in the
early cars, with perhaps a close-enough match in later non-AC Alfettas.
To Andrew, good luck, and to Tom, thanks. There is nothing quite as edifying
as having a bad call deservedly shot down.
Cheers
