Saw this shot of a 912 engine compartment on the 912bbs.org forums:
 That certainly doesn't look stock. It's from a for sale ad and the poster said nothing about a Type IV or anything. What is it? Skip |

Yep, 4 main designs that I am aware of.
1) FAT - Upright cooling 2) RABY Automotive Machine - Down The Middle "DTM" 3) Tangerine Racing (Chris) - Horizontal Fan Cooling System similar to what the original Corvair used, but nicer 4) Sharpbuilt/Australia - Shorter Upright unit cooling/requires custom cutting and shortening of oil breather riser There are additional companies out there that complete similar upgrades. |
