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 |

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) that's one of the easier tasks on a 914! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) and it makes a hell of a difference, heat-wise. i had the dual fan and it would be sauna-hot inside even on those cold CA mornings. now i have the j-tubes removed, no blower, and i have to drive around for 30 minutes to get a "hint" of warm ...
