I just removed an A/C compressor from my 914, and it has of course left a gaping hole in the engine compartment. See below:
(IMG:http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2612/3935113418_6092ce54a4_b.jpg) This should be filled: would the standard piece of engine sheet metal be a good choice, or should I fabricate something custom? (I'm pretty sure the A/C installers cut part of the bay out to fit the compressor in.) I'd welcome some advice. Also, if anyone wants a York A/C compressor including the mounting plate, it's yours for the postage (which may be significant, as it's darned heavy!) Thanks! |

Do it right, get the correct sheet metal for the engine.
And replace the hacked up engine shelf. And remove the fiberglass patch on top of your hell-hole and properly fix the rust underneath. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) Andy |

Too true (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) But the PO, a meticulous guy, described the process he used for this repair, and I am confident there will be no rust there. I'm not saying there isn't any rust elsewhere, of course (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
