Talking Thermistor Fan

My thermistor fan is apparently chirping (the one in the aspirator behind the knee bolster). I took it apart and cleaned it out - sprayed some MAFS cleaner on the bulb and blew the lint out. But, I still hear a little bird chirping in there. I saw this post from Pistnbroke -

"However, that sensor near your knee also controls the air con temp and I always thought the air con was very powerful....well it would be . The fan drawing air over the thermistor had failed so just like the heater was full blast 24/7 so was the air con. I removed the original fan and epoxied a 40mm computer fan onto the dismantled housing to draw air over the thermistor and all is well. "

I was wondering if Pistnbroke, or anybody else, can suggest a good replacement fan. It doesn't look like it would be much of a job to replace the fan. I was just hoping for a recommendation so's I don't go buying a bunch of little fans I'll never use ! TIA.
