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 |

Its a Bergmann shroud. I can tell by the fan, shape of the shroud and the strap across the top of the fan. The engine looks like a 616 to me, and not a T1 or TIV. See that angle under the alternator stand and the dizzy clamp?
Bergmann has been making 356/616 shroud kits for a while now. This is not a FAT system, FAT is wise enough not to use the water-cooled VW alternator with their kits, all of them I have seen utilize the OEM 911, 11 blade fan, not the 12 blade fan like this one. In our world we refer to this type of cooling solution as a "dumb blonde". It looks good, but its just plain dumb. AWESOME place for the oil cooler.. Lets pull hot air off the oil and preheat the air thats going to cool the cylinders and heads. Thats a great idea in the Arctic. Looks kill.
