Keeping your DC motor cool

Do NOT forget that the blower is just a band aid on gangrene.  It does NOT fix the existing problem.  Keep a close eye on that motor reduce / keep load to a minimum (climb hills slower, no jack rabbit out of stoplights, reduce stops starts, etc), do a brush commutator inspection.

Another thought one end of that is basically a flat plate - if you drill 5 or 6  holes (1/2" or so) in end you may just be able to duct that blower right on to the end of the motor opposite the brush rig.

Wire a relay into the red light to start and stop blower maybe or better yet just let it run at least for the first go around.
