Does anyone know what coating was used at the factory for the fan housing on 914-6? Or at the very least know the original color?

I have found a few 914 threads. I have also found several detailed 911 threads. They are all over the map (i.e. bare, powder coat, ceramic / Cerikote, paint, etc.). What I can't find is a 914-6 reference.

Ours was missing. Bought a new one off eBay. Don't know what model car it came off of. It's currently black on the outside and silver on the inside. Appears to have been painted.

Thank you.

The castings can be machined to different depths for different alternators. Make sure of the fit when installing.

Excellent point Dave. Luckily I discovered this when I started investigating the casting numbers. I did a blog post on the variations I'm aware of. My understanding is, if you’re about a 914-6, you should be looking for casting number 901.106.101.5R with a depth of 86 mm (lip to alternator mount face). Please feel free to correct me if mistaken.
