Seen some posts here about restored fan + housing for 911. I have a 1988 coupe, and my fan housing has a crack (really subtle and not all the way thru - see pic) in one of the support arms. I noticed this after I pulled the fan so that I could sand the oxidation off and bring back some shine.

Now I'm debating whether to:
A) Do the best I can with sanding/polishing and put everything back (original fan + housing). Ignore the crack - and hope it doesn't get worse/completely break?

B) Pay/ship to a restorer (which one? I think some are retired/gone) to repair and restore my cracked housing - also polish/powder coat/paint? to look 'good as new'?

C) Buy a repro Magnesium (or are the Aluminum ones "better" yet heavier). Also which repro supplier: FVD? Vertex? Carpoint? Other? Pelican sells the EPS AL ones.

Thanks for opinions from those who have gone through this journey before...
