Default Spal electric fans

I've heard about them but where do I get one? Is Spal better than Flexolite?

Spal uses a much heavier duty motor that will outlast two flexalites. Check out www.dewitts.com for the best prices on spal anywhere

I have FLEXALITE which works fine for me but I believe SPAL is better.

I had the highest rated Flexalite electic fan behind my BeCool radiator when I ran a SuperRam 383, and it would not keep it cool. I swapped it out for a Spal dual 11" setup and have never had any cooling problems since. If yu compare a Flexalite or Permacool fan to a Spal fan, the difference is immediately obvious. As mentioned, the Spals feature much larger and heavier motors, the constuction is much better and is of OEM quality. There really is no comparison. Spal is an OEM supplier of some of the finest Italian and other European cars as well.

Well, I've been shopping around for SPAL dual 11" fans and Tom wants $261 and Haywire http://www.haywireinc.com/products.asp wants $250.... Still not done shopping but I wonder who else sells SPAL?
