its actually a part from a VW 411/412 variant (square back). the y splitter.
if you can find one of those cars (almost as rare as a 914?) in a junk yard and the heater hoses are still there on the engine you could score one.

the 74-76 came with just one hose, left hand side in original form. the dual hose set up on the later cars is not a factory thing its a dealer and owner mod back in the day using the VW part. unique to the variant version of the 411/412.

In the US, it was the 73-74 cars that only had one hose.

The 75-76 cars used the splitter piece to feed both heat exchangers. I'm guessing that the factory probably recognized that the late-style ones were not as good as the early-style ones.

Not surprising that they used 411 or 412 parts, though. After all, the engine was designed for the 411 in the first place.

have quite a few 75 1.8s on L jet data file. good original unmolested examples.
all single hose fan.

can't speak for the 75 or 76 2.0s. but 75 1.8s had a single hose.

of note - approx same numbers of 74 1.8s as 75 1.8s these days have been later modified to two hose set up - also evident from data collected. nothing in PET indicates two hose for 73 on and no special part is listed.
points to being later mod or a dealer available uodate. being 50 years ago think this might have been a popular modification/update carried out by owners early on.

i can certainly remember the kits being advertised by tweeks and other 914 specialist part houses from back in the day in the late 80s and into the 90s.
