Thanks you Bob and Rivetcounter.

I was searching all night long for a diagram of a working flame suppressor exhaust with the working fan. I guess it would help to know which version it was. The best I could find was wecohes version....and does me no good cause it's to bits, but at least I can see that it does have working fans which I thought was just a grate cover on the exhaust at first. http://www.wecohe.de/shop/index.php?...roducts_id=118
Obviously there's a working diagram of the exhaust or wecohe wouldn't have been able to make it. I just have to find it!</p>

D,
Here is a pic I took of my Jagdpanther. It has the same type exhaust. I cut off the hood and fashioned the fan from thin brass sheet. I made a disc and cut into it with scissors to make the vents. I used a brass brade for the center hub. It's not perfect but from just a few inches away you can't tell the difference and it beats spending $50.00 for a custom part.
