We have an original 914-6 engine, sans the fan shroud (aka upper air guide) and tin. Can someone educate me on fitment and availability? Is there a definitive fan shroud article or post? If so, I could not find it.
What I understand is correct would be a 911-106-901-00 Air Guide Upper Black. This appears to be shared with 1969-71 911T with carbs. What we do have is a red shroud, which appears to be off of a 1977 911 Turbo. It has a couple cracks and some bolt holes broken open. I have no doubt it could be salvaged with some effort, but even then I am wondering if it would fit correctly. There’s a post on the early911sregistry site, which suggests there are differences beside the color but doesn't go into much detail.  It seems like they are hard to come by. I did find one currently on eBay that says it has been “modified”. It this my best current option? Does anyone recognize the modifications? Of the after market vendors I found mentioned in old threads, it appears that series900 may still be selling them. I am waiting to hear back from them. Does anyone have first hand experience with the quality and fit of their product compared to original? Thank you. |
