Below is a photo of the engine tin we have for our car, which I thought was appropriate for 914-6. The shapes seem basically correct. When I do online searches, I find some instances (e.g. Stoddard and Restoration Design) where there are holes and indentations that are not present in ours (as indicated by red markup). Can anyone clarify what is correct and why the differences? I'm guessing the holes are there for a reason.
P.S. Was the factory color for 914-6 engine tin black?  |

Pics show only standard holes and no added slot for Carrera chain tensioner. Original paint too. The last piece has additional (stock) holes for Sportomatic transmission. Attached image(s)

NOS /6 tin (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) Also interesting that there is a Sportomatic version of the tin - never knew that! The most interesting stuff shows up on 914world.com!
