Recommended alternative for the Sunon KD1208PHB1 case fans.

My 6500 has started to make the worn bearing noise on both case fans. Seems like the KD1208's are now discontinued/obsolete and no longer available on Mouser or Digikey.

Digikey is recommending the Delta Electronics with similar spec.

Specs look good, so unless anyone has any recommendation on another brand / model I will go ahead and order a couple of these.

Just wanted to check with y'all before I pull the trigger.

    Quick update. The Delta's work great. I replaced the pair. The only thing I had to do was get some new rubber mounts as the blue ones supplied in the radio were not suitable as these replacement fans did not have the gaps where the mounting holes were.

    I bought some Noctua Rubber mounts with the extended tails so i could pull them through easily.

    Radio nice and quiet again and cooling as expected.

    Attached is the list from Digikey which includes the connectors and pins.
