135mm fan needed

I know this is not srictly a case question, but case modders may be able to help.

The fan in my psu is failing. I have stripped it out and lubricated it once but it is still a bit "ticky". Its a Tagan PipeRock fan, with a blue LED and measures 135mm. I have seen Zalman 135mm fans, but they fit the holes for 120mm fans. The only one I can find is on the auction site at over £13, which although may be the exact one, I'm not sure, and it also comes from Asia which Im a bit wary of. I've even searched for blown psu's for spares in case they have a working fan.

Has anyone managed to find this size fan, or even ordered the one I have seen.

Zalman ZM-F4 Fan
Scythe Kama-Flex 135mm

Are two of the fans I've used for a 135mm fan replacement.

Wacky size 135mm though, some ocz had 135mm fans.

Did you have to drill new mounting holes for those, I thought the Zalman was for 120mm mountings. Im surprised there aren't plenty on the market, judging by the number of psu's I see with a 135mm.

You might be able to fit a 140mm fan, but in my case there wasn't enough metal available to redrill the holes.
Looking back perhaps I could have used some needle files & made existing fixing holes in to slots.
