All this blower talk raises a question I have often wondered about but
never ran across any information on. I can think of several basic 12v Bosch
motors used for fans in the Vanagon:

Front AC blower
Rear AC double blower
front heater fan
rear heater fan

and there are probably more.

Are there any commonalities among them or are they all unique?
