I’m installing an oil temperature gauge in my 1975 914 (1.8L) and I have taco plate, o-ring and sending unit. However, I can’t find the protective cover, part # 039-101-275. I’ve contacted AutoAtlanta, Pelican and looked on eBay but no luck. Let me know if you have one or know where I can find one.

Below is picture of this part.
Thanks

I would think that someone would have one but just in case, you could always go billet/aftermarket - @914werke has them and show the OEM version as backordered.

This situation is more common than you might think.
Ive seen lots of engines equipped with a taco plate in which the cover is no longer installed. On occasion I find a lone cover but its becoming more rare.
The situation probably results from the same mindset where folks think it isnt necessary so leave it off.
In fact Ive added a cover to the Billet unit to shield from cooling air altering the sender readings

BTW the Billet units are in stock (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Thanks for info. I ordered the 914Werke Billet Aluminum kit this morning. I’d read good things about it and decided it was the way to go. Plus, they’re located in Seattle, not far from my home- Portlandia.
