I have a question and would like a "wide" view point from this forum on Thermostat/Flaps on a 914

Mine are missing - and I've rcvd one comment saying that they are NOT really necessary.

Can I get some inputs on this topic - while doing some work on my car (I'm a newbie) yesterday - I noticed that the thermostat, thermostat housing, and thermostat cable are missing - only have the pulley.

In addition - where the EFFIN are these flaps? Cause if they are not needed and they are in place - they could be a problem, right?

thanks (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif)
