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. |

Sorry. I know this is getting beat to death, but it's quite confusing. Regarding:
QUOTE inner cowl that fits around the alternator with some air directing vanes There is the photo I posted above with what appears to be integrated curved pieces. Today I found this photo (courtesy TheSamba) that is said to be from a 911 2.2 T, but with a metal flap at the edge. Different looking vanes. Which is correct, if either?  |

Wow, more complicated than I thought; so here goes: 1) The extra vanes attached to the non-914/6 shroud (earlier post) are for a different model year shroud. The curved ones I was referring to are a separate piece which bolts around the alternator (which I think you are chasing down in a different thread)? ;-) 2) The Samba pic is correct for what you are looking for - that pic shows the rectangular cut out for the longer plastic duct; the bent metal flange at the end just locates the shroud and makes sure the directed air hits the oil cooler core. This is part of the shroud, NOT the alternator thingy referred to in 1) , above. If you buy a shroud, this 90deg bracket should be there present. Feel free to DM me if you have further questions, - Tony |
