Hey Madmaths, welcome to hearth. Just to confirm: you have a Napoleon 1402 insert. Pictures of your current set up would be helpful. I'm probably not much help with this specific question, but I'm curious of what you come up with, and the replies.

I actually think the older 1402 is called the 1401, but I'm not positive.

Man, you are getting no love over here. I found this image. I'm sure it's not much help. Your next step may be to directly contact a forum member who has a 1402 and see if they are willing to take pics for you.

I have an older 1401 or 1402 too. It has the old fans that are quite loud so I'm looking to do the same mod. Have looked at it and it should not be to hard if you don't mind cutting out the mounting plate for the existing fans. I'm sure i have seen the blowers on ebay. I recently installed the latest generation Fiber Baffles in mine too. I was hoping for some better performance but it seems to burn too fast now.
