Getty sells the bottom piece to. http://gettydesign.com/914tailbases/914coa...-cooler-ducting https://www.americaninternationalracing.com...il-cooler-tray/ ?? |

Not sure if you remember, but we met on that 914 run back in June, when we were chatting from some time at that mountain cafe. Just wanted to say thanks to you and everyone on this thread for all the photos. Your welcome!! I'm looking forward to the next get together. Otherwise you can find me at Cars & Coffee every Saturday morning at 7am at Crystal Cove. Right behind Javiers. |

I remember that I sourced mine on eBay a few years back, I believe it was the same guy/company that was producing side-skirts and valences. If my memory serves me right, he/they were out of Murrieta/Temecula, CA |

@nein14 - Curious, how much did you have to 'widen' the shroud?

Enrique, Not sure whether you have seen it or care to go this way, but in my opinion the very best front cooler shroud treatment is the one used by Eric Shea PMB on the car in this thread
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...=345715&hl= It has been seen in some other cars also. Not sure if it incorporates fans but it could easily accommodate two pull fans in each side of the split plenum. Not original GT looking but very cool. |

I believe it was a McMark design. Rory did a similar one in his white GT car. Lots more work than the store bought shroud but very cool. I'd like to convince Ben to make me one in aluminum (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

Actually making it out of aluminum is not a bad idea. A top, bottom and the sides.
Of course it always seems easy in my brain but is invariably two or three times harder and more time consuming to execute in reality! |

^^ That approach is great because it leaves you with a Frunk that's actually "usable"
Between the ducting and the Petersen oil tank, I can't realistically put anything in mine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)  @riquemar aren't you still using the Petersen "keg" also? |

Here is my system which is a Patrick Motorsports Setrab unit on a modded 993 3.6. I ran mine for a couple years without fans BUT I got caught once on a backed up freeway and the temps went thru the roof. I added 4 puller fans with a tstat switch. The system configuration, install, fans, and electric circuit were all my design. This system has been a life saver.

I like the shroud that vents out the side, but mine is for a vintage racer, and any ducting that cools the brakes is not allowed.
I have to stick with the GT style for now |
