Default Where to find a radiator fan?

I've searched ebay, and OD iron to no avail...had a blade break off the fan and puncture the radiator saturday. Radiator repair shouldn't be bad, but I don't know what to do about replacing the fan itself. Is there another good site with a large amount of non service type parts? Thanks in advance, and I'll try to get pictures of the damage up in a few hours for your viewing pleasure

Heres some pictures, radiator is already gone off for repair so all you get is the fan. Took the opportunity to replace the belts too, much easier when you have it all at working height in front of you!

So, did the fan hit something, or did it just go "bang" and everything went south?

not even a bang really, heard a small tinging sound. The only thing I had heard before that it reminded me of was a serpentine belt starting to separate and small pieces slapped the hood as it spun. Then heard a pressure vent sound and realized something more serious was amiss, before I could get off to check the pressure sound I started to smell the antifreeze. I was just under the hood changing filters the day before, and didn't notice anything amiss with the fan. Although it could have been cracked slightly and I wouldn't have noticed.

edit: I don't think it could have contacted anything because the only other part of the engine bay that had any noticeable wear besides the fan and radiator was the alternator pulley which just had the paint scraped off the outer edge from the chunk bouncing around. Still wish I could have found the other piece of the fan, but I heard it pop out as we were slowing to a stop and it was gone along with the sound of it tumbling.
