I'm not sure if anyone has had occasion to replace one of these but I just thought I'd show here what I found to be available (other than if you can find an NOS piece of course).
Four Seasons offers their 35602. It is the same outside diameter, about 1/8" - 1/4" shorter and it's metal vs plastic. I don't have it back in the car yet. It does sit about 1/8" farther up on the blower motor shaft but I don't think that will be enough to interfere when the case is installed back in the car.
Cool, just be sure to test it on high and check for vibrations once installed. ..................before you bolt the inner fender back in!! ha!

Yeah, nothing more annoying than that loud noise of a blower fan out of balance....
Years back a mouse filled the blower fan full of Kleenex on our Roadmaster and he didn't have the courtesy to spread it out around the wheel to keep it in balance!

Tested the fan on the bench today and it worked great. Bolted it in with the same result, so the extra 1/8" or so of height wasn't enough to cause clearance issues.
