After a year working very slowly, my 2056 engine top-end-rebuild on my '76 914 s nearing the end.

Tranny is rebuilt and ready to go. Body repainted & ready to go.

There has been a problem fitting the original 2.0 exhaust headers into the new heads.

One suggestion is that these may not be original.

Can "The World" tell me if this is an original header or not?

TIA,

GN
