Howdy folks -
I'm working on a "short list" of things to do before I fire her up for the first time! This is about heating and such.... Need two parts: 1. "Cover for warm air guide" as in Figure 1.2 item # 18 page 14, in Haynes. Need one for DRIVERS side. It's a little plate that helps secure the duct. 2. "Connection pipe" as in Figure 1.11 item # 1 page ??, in Haynes. Need one for DRIVERS side. Though I could probably fix the one I have. It's a J shaped air pipe that goes up. One question: I'd like to have good heat in the cab. I plan on using the 914 year round. Why not? I live in Colorado - it's nice here. I'm also a fan of having all the duct work in it's proper place. The cars are air-cooled after all. So - there's a blower fan that mounts above the engine and blows air through the tubes, the "connection pipe" mentioned above. The fan I have only has ONE exhaust port. Shouldn't there be one towards each side (L/R)?? Is my fan the wrong part # 914 572 011.0 ?? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) And even if the fan gets sorted out and does it thing - doesn't the main engine pully fan blow enough air for to provide heat in the cab? Is the blower fan an auxillary fan for heat? I'm confused?!?!? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif) I'm also posting about pluming the fuel line..... THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP OUT THERE!!!! CHEERS!! Nate |

Well - for now I'm gonna skip the blower motor and cap the J tubes. I'm hell bent on getting it up and running!!!
My old 76 VW bus had one of those blower motors. But it was essential given that the bus is like 100 feet long!!! Cheers, Nate |
